Raising a Cainine Companions for Independence puppy is a very important part of the process of
training an assistance dog. Approved individuals receive
puppies at 8 weeks of age to raise and socialize. For the
following 14 to 16 months the puppy raisers, at their own
expense, provide all the puppy's needs including food,
immunizations, toys and transportation. Upon reaching 16
to 22 months of age, the puppy is returned to Canine Companions in Santa Rosa,
CA for screening and to begin advanced training, the final step
toward becoming an assistance dog.
