I am a first time volunteer Puppy Raiser for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI). This wonderful organization has been providing Service Dogs, Facility Dogs, Hearing Dogs and Skilled Companions to people in need since 1975. My job for the next 18 months is to socialize, train and prepare the puppy (Helper II) in my care to successfully enter advance training in Oceanside California. I have started this blog to document our journey together.

Play date with Greta and Nessie
One of my jobs as Helper's Puppy Raiser is to socialize her with various dogs. This is important because a service dog must be calm at all times around other dogs. My good friend and fellow Puppy Raiser Marsha brought Nessie (on the right) and Greta (the Golden Doodle on the left) over to have a play date with Helper. In this picture Marsha has given the command for all of the dogs to go "down" and they are intently watching for her next command.
