Larissa Mcmahill Recipient of
My name is Larissa Mcmahill. I am a 44 year old Combat veteran of the United States Navy. I spent just under 8 years in the Navy and it was some of the best times of my life. Sadly, when I left the Navy I was diagnosed with some special challenges that make my day to day life a little harder than it was before. I have searched for a service dog for several years. My special needs are not getting any better and my health is slowly getting worse. I found legend acres online on a veteran facebook page. I never thought I would have a chance at being selected as there are so many veterans in need. To my surprise, I was selected and I couldn’t be more honored or excited to start this journey with my new friend. I love the outdoors, and being in the woods; and now because of this great opportunity, my new best friend and I are going to be able to do that. I hope to bond with her, learn and grow with her; and as my health slowly gets worse, I’ll have her by my side to comfort me and assure me we can get through anything together. This opportunity will change my life and I couldn’t be more thankful. God bless you and this beautiful country. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. These classes and training opportunities are going to not only encourage me to get out and socialize but they are going to empower me and give me a chance at a new life. Thankyou again.
About Legend's Heroes Service Dog Training Program:
Legend's Heroes Service Dog Training Program, offered through Legend Acres Dog and Horse Solutions, will bring an innovative approach to getting psychiatric service dogs to those who need them. Service dogs can help those recovering from PTSD accomplish daily tasks, provide situational assessments, and guide handlers out of stressful situations.
Legend's Heroes program was launched in March of 2020 and consisted of service dog training for service dog teams, including PTSD Service Dogs, Psychiatric Service Dogs, and Mobility Support. The trainers can determine if a person's current pet is appropriate for completing the Service Dog Certification Program or assist with dog selection to meet the criteria.
Through virtual and on-demand courses, participants in the program can complete their own time in a safe space for them.
Upon acceptance into the Legend's Heroes Service Dog Training Program, a participant can have a fully trained service animal under two years and $3000 or less. Traditional programs can take 1-4 years to get a psychiatric service dog in the hands of someone who needs them and can cost up to $15000.
The Legend Heroes Service Training Program is a two-year program consisting of an initial training plan of four canine obedience courses, public access test, and task dog training with follow up sessions over the next year.
