A fully trained service dog is specifically trained to perform focused tasks to work with people with disabilities and can cost over $25,000. As defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), disabilities can be physical, sensory (deaf or slight of hearing), psychiatric (episodes of depression, anxiety, anxiousness, etc.), or other mental disabilities. You do not need a letter from a physician to qualify for a service dog, but you will need a well-trained dog. For dogs 6 months old and older.
