How to Raise Service Dogs

Dogs are intelligent creatures capable of learning commands, sensing mood changes or even detecting seizures before they happen. These are some of the reasons dogs are chosen to work as service or companion dogs to the blind, handicapped, deaf or mentally ill. Organizations such as Domesti-PUPS ask volunteer families to raise their puppies until they are 12 to 14 months old, at which time they can begin training to become service dogs.
