Many factors go into matching a NEADS Dog with its human partner. NEADS dogs are trained for 15 to 18 months, during which time our trainers take a close look at their skills, task work, temperament, and personality. Having a full picture of each dog is valuable in deciding what career it will be best suited for. With this knowledge, we are able to match the right dog with the right client.

Or would you be best-suited working alongside a counselor, or a professional in the ministry, classroom, hospital, or courthouse, helping other people?
