After talking to our trainers I have learned that we prefer to rescue dogs for our service dogs for many reasons. Here at the Florida Dog Guides FTD, we train a service team. A team is a disabled person, and dog training together to generate a bond, to enhance loyalty, and to teach the disabled person to train their own dog, with a trainer one on one.
We are helping abandoned dogs find not just loving homes, but a purpose in life. A reason to live.
I personally have a breeder rejection, a breeder had a pups and when one was not "show" quality or marketable, he was thrown away. He was thrown into the gulf of mexico to drown. My pup was a strong enough swimmer to swim right to the Coast Guard Station. The same one that my recently deceased dad, met my mom. Teddy Roosevelt - our Chesapeake Bay Retriever is not only smart, but he is very loving. He is an AKC Certified Good Citizen, and will be training as a therapy dog soon.
Our Teams, are amazing to see around the state of Florida. They are connected in such a special way that I am always amazed. I watch them work and learn together, you should stop in and see the majic of love.
