Service dogs Halsey, Talia, Justin, Murray, Chesty, Myers, Kevin, & Madison, Labrador Retrievers & Lab/Golden Retriever crosses, Smithtown, NY • Guide dogs and service dogs train to help the visually impaired and veterans with disabilities. • "These guys are future guide and service dogs. They’re raised by puppy raisers from the age of eight-weeks to sixteen-months-old. The puppy raisers try to build their fundamental skills that they’ll need for formal training. The four fundamentals of puppy raising are: good house manners, socialization, relieving routine, and ensuring success." • "During formal training, the dogs learn a set of commands and tasks, like retrieving a phone, pressing a handicapped door button, or switching lights on and off (mostly a PTSD task so that their handlers don’t have to enter a dark room). The guide dogs are taught to walk straight with purpose, to go around obstacles, and to stop at the curbs." • "When I first started working here I followed a class of veterans with their new service dogs. The first three days none of the veterans would look me in the eye. It was incredible to see their transformation after they got their dogs – their entire persona instantly changed. The whole environment changed. They were all becoming friends because they were going through this together with their dogs. There was one guy who was disappointed when he first met his dog and by the end of the class they were already bonded. I think a lot of them are skeptical and don’t think it’s going to work out but they always connect so quickly. It’s incredible to watch the transformation." @guidedogfoundation @americasvetdogs
