A note about maintaining training

JUST AS A NOTE:  It is really important to maintin the training on your service dog.  Compassionate Paws, Inc. provides the preliminary training.  We get the dog ready to go to you.  Obedience, housebreaking (even though none of it is perfect and will not be in a 1 year old dog), and the specialized training that they will do for their "person".  We get the dogs prepared for all of this. 

Once the dog is placed it doesn't mean that the training can stop.  Each on of the dogs here are worked with at a minimium of 1 hour a day of individualized training time which is 30 minutes more than most kennel clubs would recommend spending.  THEN we spend at least 30 minutes (and that depends on the weather outside) with group socialization time working with the dogs.  These things need to be maintained when the dogs are placed into their forever homes.  If these things are not maintained you will have ended up with a very expensive house pet. 

We make sure to inform all our clients on the importance of the maintanence of the training - it is going to be one of the most important aspects IF NOT THE MOST important aspect once your dog is permanently living in your home.   PLEASE take the advise that we are giving you.  We want to see you succeed because when you succeed - we succeed. 

We don't live with you...we can only advise you.  If you chose to not take our advise the placement of the service dog in your home YOU - NOT YOUR SERVICE DOG will fail. 

These are things to keep in mind when receiving your service dog.
