I am thrilled to share that our latest episode of Beyond The Vest Podcast is now live! In this episode, we had the honor of interviewing Lexi, the Director of Client Services at Canines for Service. We delved into the fascinating world of service dogs and their profound impact on veterans' lives. Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:1️⃣ Puppy Power: While there are pros and cons to both puppies and rescue dogs, the benefits of puppies, especially purpose-bred ones, seem to outweigh the rest. Puppies receive specialized training from a young age, allowing for better desensitization and saving time in the long run.2️⃣ Individualized Training: Canines for Service takes a unique approach to training service dogs. They involve the client in the training process and gather information from the client and their spouse to understand their specific needs, triggers, and preferences. This personalized training ensures that the service dog is the perfect match for the client's requirements.3️⃣ Service Dog Appreciation: The significance of service dogs cannot be overstated. They enable disabled veterans to lead more independent lives, provide invaluable assistance, and offer much-needed companionship and support. In recognition of their contributions, the bipartisan resolution to designate September 20th as National Service Dog Day is a step forward in honoring these incredible animals.
