I was in the process of applying for a hearing dog for myself, and it was a 1 and a half to 2 year process before they would even have a dog trained enough to send to me, and then another 6 months of the trainer, the dog and myself before they would consider his training complete. The dog needs to be at his most alert for the safety of his owner, and confusing him on directions that need to be made in a split second is not helping.
