Puppy Raiser

Puppy Raiser

Have you ever thought about being a puppy raiser for a future service dog? Well, here’s your chance! This is your opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life and in the life of a dog.

The Puppy Raiser family shares their home with the dog, teaching it to be a good citizen. This involves house-training the pup, teaching it basic obedience and most importantly, socializing the pup and exposing it to everyday activities such as shopping, riding a bus, going to church, soccer games, getting used to all types of people and animals, etc. The formal service dog training begins once it meets the standard requirements and returns to Golden Healer Service Dogs, generally 1 year to 18 months.
