Giving back through puppy raising
As a valuable member of our community, we are honored to invite you to join our mission to provide custom trained service dogs through Puppy Raising. By becoming a Bobtail Bernard Puppy Raiser, you have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of our canine companions and those who rely on them.
Puppy Raising is not only a chance to give back to our community, but also an opportunity for personal growth and fulfillment. You will gain valuable experience through the training process, and will be part of a supportive community of like-minded individuals who share the same passion for dogs and making a difference.
What is required to be a puppy raiser?
Puppy Raisers must be willing to meet every other week for training with their puppy, and agree to Lighthouse Canine Learning Center's Standards of Care, and training schedule. The puppies remain the property of Lighthouse Canine Learning Center, and all food and vetting is provided.
What is the purpose of a puppy raiser?
By having puppy raisers take puppies and work with them individually, in separate households, it allows us to get a true feel for the personality of the puppy, as well as giving the puppy one-on-one attention that every puppy deserves. It also gives them the opportunity to experience new things every day, which is one of the important parts of successful puppy raising.
