My Nonprofit Reviews

I have had the privilege to watch and learn about training Service Dogs with Glad Wags Service Dogs. It has been an eye-opening experience. I had no idea how much time and work goes into training a service dog. It goes much farther then just training a family pet to listen and obey. A service dog has to be able to think and problem solve in case its owner/handler is unable to do so. Due to the level of thinking the dog needs to do – not all dogs can become service dogs. The trainers at Glad Wags have been great about explaining the process to the families receiving the dogs. There are strict rules to ensure the success of each client and dog team. And it is truly wonderful to see the bond build between client and dog throughout the process. I am amazed at how a dog can truly change a disabled individuals’ life for the better.
