K9 Kavalry is possibly the best disabled veteran based nonprofit that helps teach the veteran to train their dog to become their service dog. They never give up on a veteran or a dog and the training is done in a unique way. They go above and beyond for their pack members. I called many places who turned me down because I have a German Shepherd, but K9k took us and we have been happily a part of the pack for 4 years now. If you meet the criteria to join the program it is free for disabled veterans. Without K9 Kavalry I would be lost and my dog would not be a service dog. I am grateful to this nonprofit everyday. Not only because of the help training my dog, but because of the camaraderie between all the veterans. The support they offer and what they give the dogs and the veterans is unparalleled and exceeds every other program I have personally looked into and seen. I highly recommend K9 Kavalry to any disabled veteran who has a dog they want to train themselves to be a service dog. They offer trainers to help with the training so the veteran is never alone. They operate off of donations from donors and not money from the veterans themselves. However, this is well beyond a free is for me sort of program. The training offered and the assistance given to both the veteran and the dog is much more than a price tag. It's not just a community or place to train a dog, it's a community for disabled veterans and a support system for both in every way. I absolutely love that they have always gone above and beyond for everyone who has been a member and I will continue to be a part of this program for as long as I have a dog. This isn't just a place that gives you a dog that is trained and it involves work on the veteran/owners part, but they will always have the support of the nonprofit to aide them with anything they need. Most places count out certain breeds and dogs based off behaviors months into training, but K9k will continue to work with the dog and the veteran for as long as both are willing to put in the work. I'm more grateful to this program and nonprofit than words can express and I can't wait to see it continue to grow in the future to continue making positive changes for the veteran community even beyond just disabled veterans and the challenges they and our service dogs face. read more
