* Teach basic obedience and reinforce positive behavior using approved training methods

* Socialize the puppy in public settings such as stores, parks, and events

* Maintain communication with staff regarding the puppy’s progress, behavior, and milestones

Qualifications:

* No prior dog training experience required - we provide full training and support

* Reliable transportation for vet visits, training classes, and socialization outings

* Ability to follow training guidelines consistently

* Commitment to the mission of serving veterans

What We Provide:

* Training, resources, and 24/7 support

* Food, veterinary care, and essential supplies

* Regular classes and mentorship from experienced trainers

* A meaningful volunteer experience and lifelong impact

Why It Matters:

Every service dog starts with a volunteer who believes in something bigger than themselves. As a Puppy Raiser, you’re not just training a dog - you’re restoring independence and hope to a disabled veteran.
