Service dogs figuratively open doors for people, assisting them to participate fully in the community with much more independence. Sometimes, like SSD Bridge, service dogs literally open doors for their partners.
Susquehanna Service Dogs recently placed eight service dogs with their new partners. Each dog was individually trained based on their partner’s needs. The dogs spent their first 18 months with their volunteer puppy raisers, who taught them basic skills and good house manners. Then they entered advanced training, where Susquehanna Service Dogs’ professional trainers begin training the dogs to perform more complex tasks.
