Puppy Sitter Application

Service Dogs For Children With AUTISM

Puppy sitters care for our pups when our puppy raisers are out of town. They teach basic obedience skills and health manners and socialize our pups to all of the sites and sounds in the world. The puppy raising program is a fundamental part of the journey of a Pawsitism dog; it provides the foundation on which formal service dog training will build.

Pawsitism Inc. Service Dogs will be at the RUFF Academy Facility 3 days a week for a total at least 6 hours a week. They will also have days reserved for field trips and events along with stops during the day for their Social Calendar! They will spend evenings and weekends with their puppy raisers to help concrete their home skills!
