HOW CAN SOMEONE GET A HEARING DOG?
A person wanting a Hearing Dog can contact Canine Working Companions, Inc. for an application and information packet. Questions can be answered by CWC staff or graduates who are available to speak with a person who is considering a Hearing Dog. When the application and documentation are returned, with the $25.00 application fee, the paperwork is reviewed, and then the applicant is contacted to set up an appointment for the first interview, conducted at the Waterville, NY training facility. As part of the Training Facility interview the applicant will participate in a mini-training session with a dog currently in training. The next step is an in-home interview, explained below.
