Would you like to learn dog training skills while enhancing the life of an Albertan with a disability? Do you want to help someone in your community? Do you want a puppy and not have to pay for food, equipment, or vet bills? Then contact us (kerri@dogswithwings.ca or 780-944-8011) if you are able to provide a safe, stable, and loving home for one of our service dogs in-training! At DOGS WITH WINGS (DWW), we train dogs to do the seemingly impossible. You play an important part in a DWW dog's development by committing to being a Puppy Raiser. A Puppy Raiser is a 24-hour, 7 days per week volunteer position. The role of the Puppy Raiser is to socialize a puppy to as many environments and situations as possible. The puppy must be exposed to various situations, on a regular basis, such as: offices, malls, restaurants, downtown areas, elevators, and public transportation. As a Puppy Raiser, your puppy will accompany you on all trips out of the home. You will attend four puppy classes a month that are 45-60 minutes in duration with your puppy's trainer. The ultimate goal of a Puppy Raiser is to help the puppy develop sufficient social skills to behave in such a manner that its presence will be acceptable in all circumstances. . Event Details.
