Welcome to my blog, From Puppy to Public Access. Selecting and preparing a puppy to train as a service dog - the most important time in a service dog’s training happens long before the dog is ever ready to learn his job; it is the stage commonly known as “puppy raising”. Join me as I journey from finding a puppy through raising that puppy in the hope that he will become my next service dog. (Photo credit - Jack Powers)

Hardy alerts on his own!
Who would have guessed that having a flair of rheumatoid in my chest wall this summer would turn out to be a good thing? Certainly not me ... and frankly, I could have done without it! However, after mimicking Laurel's alerts several times, this morning, Hardy alerted on his own! Laurel had alerted while he was outside in the yard and when he came back inside, he came up and started alerting himself! I was so excited and surprised, we had a regular party and Hardy looked mighty pleased with himself! Laurel loves a party so she joined right in and I think we made quite an impression on Hardy that he had done something very special!
