Puppy in Training

This Sunday, I am going to go to the first meeting for Guide Dogs for the Blind(GDB), then I will probably have to fill something out, but soon I will have a puppy that wears a vest saying 'Puppy in Training'!

Guide Dogs for the Blind is a place where volunteers come to be puppy raiser's, puppy raiser's usually get the puppy at about 2 months old and usually have the puppy for about 16 months, and through out their first 16 months they will go to about 2 GDB meetings a month(and you have to bring their puppy report:D).

When they are 18 months old they go to their formal training, formal training is teaching them how exactly to be a service dog, if they complete their formal training they will graduate into becoming an official service dog, if not, they will either go into the K9 buddy program(Which they explain in a video) or they will have to have a career change.

Well I am very exited, I have been wanting to do this for almost a year now. Also, the pacific one that we are going to, accepts kids 9+ to become puppy raiser's, so I will get to do it:D(They said I was the perfect age:D).

Well that's all...Bye:D
