TUITION
Puppies are invited to enroll when they are between 8 and 12 weeks old.
Puppies can enroll in the academy for as many consecutive weeks as you’d like, with a minimum of a 6 week term. Additional consecutive weeks can be added until they are 6 months (or 24 weeks) old.
The tuition fee of $70/day is to be paid at the end of each week via check or online.
While the tuition expense is not a donation, this revenue goes directly into the P&A organization and helping the P&A pups grow, thrive, and learn, empowering them to become service and facility dogs for children who need them in the greater Philadelphia area.
ADDITIONAL SERVICE AVAILABLE:
Private sessions to facilitate the training process can be scheduled at a rate of $100/hour.
These sessions can be held at P&A or in your home.
**Family covers all expenses related to the dog during the training process including vet care, health insurance, food, and needed supplies.
