Fifteen dogs and handlers from Semper Fi Service Dogs-No Vet Left Behind participated in service dog training at Horses & Hounds Farm on Saturday, Aug. 15. Handlers helped dogs gain confidence with new experiences, like seeing a horse close up or how to behave in a crowd of people. Handlers and dogs did obedience training exercises and jumps on an obstacle course. Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue donated two dogs into the service dog program. President Peter Torres was on hand to check on their progress. For more information on Semper Fi Dog Training, visit www.semperfiservicedogs.org.
Thank you so much for making this possible despite COVID! Service dogs are so important.
