Our service dogs are carefully selected by our highly qualified dog trainer. If a puppy passes the standardized service animal evaluation, it can become a new member of the DogsInVests family!
The process of becoming a service dog is a long one. After spending some time with our staff, the puppy will go home with a puppy raiser. Our puppy raisers are carefully chosen and given specific instructions on the training requirements to ensure each dog reaches their full potential.
Over the course of 12-18 months, our dogs partake in weekly, specialized service dog training. During the training process, a dog is matched with a child in need. Each child within our program has unique needs, making it imperative they get paired with a dog who can best help with their unique situation. Every dog trains side-by-side with their human to make certain both parties are compatible companions. By the time our dogs graduate their adult beginner class, the dog is a thoroughly trained service dog, ready to be a helpful companion.
