You have lots to offer a dog to make them sit up and tilt their head in curiosity! Our puppy sitters welcome a dog in training for short periods of time – a few days, a week, a month, or a little longer. They give our dogs the chance to experience a new home, people, routine, and places to visit, which is an essential part of preparing our dogs to join their future partners. If you don’t want to commit to raising a puppy, being a puppy sitter is a great way to work with our dogs on your schedule and make a big difference.

One of the things our puppy raisers do is take our dogs along with them as they go about their daily lives. That means the dogs get to experience lots of different environments and situations – like going to the doctor’s office and waiting patiently in a down-stay.

You can help our dogs learn! Become a puppy raiser or sitter today: https://www.khs.org/what-we-do/assistance-dogs/become-a-volunteer/

First, playtime with the other dogs. Then, a nap! SSD Éclair is one of our dogs in Advanced Training. When she’s not training with one of our professional trainers, she can be found playing in the field with the other dogs or hanging out with volunteers for enrichment activities like sniffy walks or snuggle time.
