Why become a puppy raiser?

Service Dogs 101—Everything You Need to Know

Guide dog and service dog puppies are placed with carefully screened foster families and individuals, known as “puppy raisers,”
when they are 8 weeks old, learning proper house manners, and basic obedience.

Puppy raising volunteers are an essential part of our training program. Every successful guide dog and service dog team had a puppy raiser
who gave them plenty of love, taught them basic skills and provided experiences to allow them to feel safe in the world.
