Training Programs

Finished Dog - 12 to 14 Months Old

Our finished Diabetic Alert Dog Training can be completed in approximately twelve to fourteen months. Puppies are selected for our program based upon their response to scent imprinting and natural drive. From eight to sixteen weeks of age, puppies learn about the world in which they will be be required to work. Socialization, scent discrimination, and a conditioned response are all part of the pups learning. Advanced training typically begins at six months of age and continues until the dog is ready for their scent and alert certification testing. As of 2023, the cost of a finished Hightest Diabetic Alert Dog is $25,000. Monthly payments of $2,000+ is acceptable. We currently have 5 successfully trained working teams out in the field.
