Five puppies learning to serve as assistance dogs had a howling good time during a training exercise at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
ROMULUS, Mich. — Five puppies learning to be assistance dogs had a howling good time during a training exercise at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
It was all part of an effort to acclimate the dogs to one of the many settings they may experience later in life. The training was led by Paws With A Cause — a Wayland, Michigan-based nonprofit that oversees the custom training of puppies that become assistance dogs for people with disabilities. The group pairs puppies with volunteers who raise and socialize the dogs for the first year of their lives.
The trainers also take the puppies to grocery stores, libraries, restaurants and doctor's appointments, Hood said. But the airport provides a unique experience because of its distinct sights and sounds.
