puppy raising

Young canine care

Puppy raising is the practice of caring for and socializing a young dog during its first year or so of life, typically as a volunteer for an organization that trains service dogs.

The raiser provides basic obedience, household manners, and exposure to varied environments before returning the puppy for formal training: She's been puppy raising for guide dog programs for years.
