Dogs for Kids with Disabilities / Assistance Dogs Australia, 01/01/15, 06/30/20, My family and I raised Assistance Dog puppies from aged 8 weeks to 24 months. We were responsible for providing a loving home, basic obedience training, and exposing the pups to a variety of environment to prepare them for the next phase of their training and to eventually work with children as Assistance and Therapy dogs. In addition, I volunteered at fundraising events, hosting functions for clients, supporters and sponsors.
