Any service dog training assistance programs?

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

Hi,
To please clarify, are you and Lucy in PA? If so, we found this Keystone Service Dog Training non-profit. Maybe contact them for advice. https://www.khs.org/what-we-do/assistance-dogs/

In 2005, I developed an eye condition that led to vision loss and distortion. I have been seen by doctors specializing in ophthalmology, including Wills Eye Hospital in Pennsylvania and the Ear and Eye Infirmary in Massachusetts. I struggle with depth perception, vertigo, and recurring pain in my right eye. The pain feels similar to eating a snow cone too fast and is constant. I am limited in the pain medications I can take due to blood clot therapy.
I need a service dog trained to recognize when I am about to fall or when I am experiencing vertigo. I have a dog named Lucy who was trained to detect seizures at four months old. When she was given to me to be trained for vertigo assistance, she was too hyper, and I was unable to control her. I have contacted trainers, but the cost is beyond what I can afford.
I am on disability, with an annual income of $14,400, and I need help getting Lucy trained for the specific needs I experience. Lucy is registered, up to date on all vaccinations, and receives regular wellness visits. She is currently 1 year and 9 months old.
Is there a program available to help disabled individuals with service dog training? Thank you for your time and consideration.
