Just to let everyone be aware, training a dog for mobility is a very long process. First the puppy needs to be trained. Ones the dog is trained, then you will have to be trained as well since the dog needs to be familiar with you as well. Only after that you will be able to begin using it on your own. I don't think that there is any special school for training such dogs in India. So if you come across any such person claiming to be the special dog trainer, you should ask if they are certified to train dogs and I don't think that any one in India is at the moment.
