My wife's uncle trains service dogs for autistic children and also for kids with other problems that may qualify them for a service dog. He will train and socialize the dog for the first year and then pass them off to another trainer who will finish the dog for a specific client.
You might want to look into a group that provides dogs for this purpose. Sometimes they will have dogs that washout of training because of an issue that wouldn't be a problem for a dog owner but makes them unacceptable as a service dog. A dog like this would most likely be between 1 and 2 years old and very well trained.
Just another option.
I should see if I can find some of the photos of the dogs he has trained working with their new client/owner. They are priceless.
