Ability Dogs of Arizona is a nonprofit based in Tucson, Arizona, that runs an owner-trained service dog program guided by professional trainers. The program tailors training to each participant's physical, psychological, and situational needs and supports individuals with hearing loss, mobility challenges, diabetes, PTSD, and other disabilities. Applicants enter the program, and if not paired with an organization dog, their own dog must pass an assessment; training a handler and dog team typically lasts 12 to 18 months.
The organization is accredited by Assistance Dogs International and also offers public dog training classes for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. Its model, in which people train their own dogs, is intended to empower participants and foster increased independence as training progresses, with a relatively small staff based in Tucson.
