About Puppy Raising
As Puppy-Raisers, the Blues will provide basic obedience training, as well as social and environmental stimulations to help the puppy to develop into a secure, self-confident, Assistance Dog for a future Duo client.
OVERVIEW: During the 18-month program, our puppy will develop the necessary socialization skills in the Blues’ front office and at Blues home games.
When training in the office is over, our puppy will continue to develop at the home of a dedicated Blues front office employee each day. Learn more about the program below.
Basic Training
St. Louis Blues employees will ensure the puppy will receive proper basic training skills until the puppy is ready for their intensive training with Duo.
Intensive Training
Following basic training with the team, Duo will begin a 4-6 month training process that will teach our pup to be proficient in more than 50 tasks including: opening and closing doors, picking up dropped items, and retrieving objects. They also alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing to important sounds like doorbells, alarms, or a crying baby.
Placement
After our pup completes his training, he is considered a full trained Assistance Dog and is eligible for placement with either an individual or facility. If our pup is becomes a Facility Assistance Dog he will help an individual or facility such as a hospital, school or courtroom with a wide range of needs. Regardless of where he is place, our pup will be provided at no cost to a Duo client.
