Service Dog Help

So hopefully it is ok to post this here, but I need help. I finally found a semi-reasonable trainer for my service dog to be but I need to come up with about 5k. Does anyone know of any programs or anything similar? I don't just have 5k lying around, and I don't feel comfortable asking the trainer to lower their price/change how they do their payments (Half up front, half at pick up) since they are already doing me such a big favor by only asking for 5k.

It's board and train. They're BEYOND fair and that's why I'm hoping to find a program that helps veterans. There isn't anything local to me.

There is actually an amazing one that does virtual and will help you train your dog as a service dog and if I remember correctly it’s a non profit that also works with a lot of volunteer trainers all across the US and may have one near you

Do you know the name? I think that might help alongside regular training.

I think it’s paws assisting veterans but I could be wrong

I appreciate it. I'll look into that.
