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.
