There is no definitive answer to this question as it can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the specific training program used, the location of the training, and the individual dog being trained. However, a rough estimate for the cost of training a medical detection dog could be between $10,000 and $30,000.

The cost of training a medical detection dog can be high because of the specialized skills that these dogs need to learn. Medical detection dogs must be able to accurately detect a wide range of medical conditions, including cancer, diabetes, and infections. This requires a great deal of time and expertise on the part of the trainers. Additionally, medical detection dogs must be able to work closely with their human handlers, which also requires a significant amount of training.

How effective is the training? There is a great deal of research that has been conducted on the effectiveness of medical detection dogs. Overall, the research suggests that these dogs are highly effective at detecting a wide range of medical conditions. One study found that medical detection dogs were able to detect cancer with an accuracy of 96%. Another study found that these dogs were able to detect diabetes with an accuracy of 89%. Further, study led by the University of Pennsylvania, dogs identified positive samples with 96% accuracy
