    Introduction to SLSD’s Puppy

    Raising Program

    Thank you for looking into working with Scout’s Legacy!! Before you join our
    little family, we want to give you some information about how we work, how to get
    started, and what to expect after you join!
    So the first step is to meet up one on one with our Puppy Raiser Coordinator, at
    this time it is Amanda! You will need to sit down and talk about what is expected and
    she will have you work with a dog slowly to see if you have the right confidence to
    work with a puppy in public. After everything goes well we would talk about your
    lifestyle and which puppy would fit your schedule! You will then receive a BUNCH of
    homework and spend a week or more reading it and getting ready for the new pup!
    When you receive the new dog, if it has already been in the program for a
    while then we would have you spend 2 weeks training and videoing all that the dog
    currently knows to make sure you and the dog know what is going on together. In that
    time practice every day for 5-15 minutes on all the old cues so you two know how to
    do everything together! You will be required to have a Facebook page so you can be
    added to all the in training pages for the Service Dog in Training. You will also be
    required to be able to record and post videos on that page so we can see the progress
    and updates of the dog. It is a goal to get 1 video a week of training, so remember
    this as you are out working with your pup.
    There are lesson plans in place that you must train your pup to follow and
    understand the commands exactly as we ask. This way there is a uniform pattern to
    the dog’s knowledge so any puppy raiser and trainer can handle the dog, and the
    owner knows exactly what to do. The lessons are written and videoed for you to learn
    what we expect with each cue. You will be asked to join us at monthly group outings
    and meet with the trainer on a consistent basis to make sure the puppy is growing and
    training correctly. The costs for the puppy should be paid for by the client. If you wish
    to help with those costs, they would be greatly appreciated! If you are training a
    program dog, all the program can cover is vet and food costs. Treats will need to be
    under your costs but you can use the food they should eat throughout the day as their
    treat if they prefer it.
    It will be hard work, a lot of patience, and constant communication, but this
    will also be very rewarding! You will be providing independence to someone who has
    none, and we thank you for even considering helping us!!
    With Regards,
    Scout’s Legacy Service Dogs
