Graduation day has arrived for our pets and their owners. All the dogs received their CGC (Canine Good Citizen) Achievement except Schatten received the Puppy Star Achievement. Gemma, Merel, Ahavah and Schatten will all become future service dogs for our disabled veterans. The classes were held at the American Service Animal Society (ASAS) training center. The classes were taught by Pat Wenning, ABCDT, certified dog trainer. Sean Walters assisted in the classes. Our next session will begin January 13, 2015. Call Pat Wenning at 480-419-7356 (h) or 480-203-1743 (c) or e-mail at [email protected] to get your pet’s name on the list for January. Class size and the number of classes are limited.
