I know you don’t believe it!
I mean come on, who would throw away one of those perfectly behaved dogs that you see in public as Service Dogs?
It is just a ploy to get you to believe in some unrealistic training tips or programs, right?
Not so!
I can brag about being a part of this kind of work for decades, but check this out, here is the proof!
From superpower USA Today:
These Dogs May Become Service Dogs
These dogs may have a higher purpose!
They can provide emotional and physical support to disabled veterans with Traumatic Brain Injuries and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
After just 4 months of training, these adult dogs that once were not wanted, and some scheduled to be euthanized, are ready to begin the placement process with their new handlers.
These dogs, thrown away because they are “to big” or “out of control”, are taught obedience and manners that make them good citizens in public.
Meeting their new handler, also known as “Mom” or “Dad”, is love at first sight. And, yes, affection is not only acceptable but expected!
PTSD keeps this Marine, who completed four tours, from being able to go out in public. These dogs bridge the gap and give their handlers something else to think about and love so they can better deal with their disorder.
Lives are changed forever, and suicide rates among our military veterans drop significantly, with the addition of a Service Dog.
22 veterans take their lives, and almost 4,000 dogs are euthanized, every single day. These numbers do not have to be so high!
Saving dogs saves our veterans, and veterans save these dogs. It goes both ways. A true win-win situation!
Perhaps They Really Know They Have a Better Purpose!
What do you think?
These dogs, given up by families who once loved them for being too out of control, have beaten the odds and become the best of the best when it comes to canine companions.
Think this kind of obedience is out of reach?
You Are Wrong!
It only takes a little hope and trust in yourself, consistency, and a few minutes of training your puppy every day, and your dog can behave like one of these beautiful creatures!
