We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of our family, Shaye, a 9-week-old Papillon puppy! Shaye has joined us with a special mission in mind – to embark on the path to becoming a certified therapy/comfort dog to help us visit and distribute coloring posters to hospitals, nursing homes and schools. As we eagerly anticipate the adventures ahead, we invite you to join us on this heartwarming journey and stay updated on Shaye's progress.
Shaye's journey begins with the decision to enroll her in Puppy Kindergarten classes. This crucial step will lay the foundation for her education, socialization, and development into a well-behaved and compassionate companion. Puppy Kindergarten is not just about learning basic commands; it's an essential building block for her future role as a therapy/comfort dog.
The decision to train Shaye as a therapy/comfort dog is rooted in the desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others. These remarkable dogs provide emotional support, companionship, and comfort to individuals in various settings, such as hospitals, schools, and nursing homes. Shaye's sweet nature and inherent charm make her an ideal candidate for such a rewarding role.
Our goal is ambitious yet achievable – we hope to have Shaye certified as a therapy/comfort dog by the end of the year. Achieving certification involves rigorous training, exposure to diverse environments, and mastering specific skills. Throughout this process, we'll share insights into the challenges and triumphs, providing a firsthand look at the dedication and hard work that goes into preparing a dog for this noble calling.
As we embark on this heartwarming journey with Shaye, we invite you to be a part of her story.
