Objectives
What are the objectives of a Puppy Raiser?
We believe in positive reinforcement and setting our pups up for success! We want the Puppy Raising experience to be a positive one for both the puppy and raiser and we are here to guide you!
Housebreak/"Get Busy"
Housebreaking begins the day our volunteer raisers bring the puppy home. Creating a reliable and positive relieving routine is crucial and will be taught with an understanding of “Get Busy.” It is important that our pups understand they are to relieve themselves outdoors and when given permission to do so. This helps our graduates develop a dependable relationship with their dog and relieving.
Teach Basic Obedience
All puppies should be taught basic obedience ensuring that they are growing into well-mannered obedient pups. Sit, Down, Stay, Come are a few of the basic skills you will teach your puppy along with proper leash skills! You can still raise a future guide dog puppy even if you have never owned a dog before, we will teach you and provide you with the proper skillset to set each puppy up for success.
Socialize
Socialize, socialize, socialize! Socialization is extremely important and necessary for a guide dog to succeed. Our puppies need to be well-rounded, confident and comfortable in every situation they encounter. A well socialized puppy should be comfortable, relaxed and understand how to behave and what is expected of them in all environments.
Expose
Exposure goes along with socialization. The more you socialize your puppy, the better exposed they become. It is important that Puppy Raiser’s are able to read their pups body language ensuring that they are comfortable and relaxed during their encounters. We want our puppies to thoroughly enjoy what they do and to want to work! Some puppies need reassurance, more time, and different approaches to situations that they find unsettling, and that’s ok!
