7-12 month old started service dog: 

​

These dogs are raised, socialized and trained by Love in the Lead since 8 weeks of age. They have received all their puppy and adult vaccinations, are up-to-date on flea/tick/heartworm preventatives, and have completed both Phase 1: Basic Obedience and Phase 2: Advanced Obedience of our service dog program. We also include 4 hours of private one-on-one training for new owners to help transition the dog into their new home. Once purchased, these dogs may also stay in the care of Love in the Lead (at no additional charge) until they are old enough to start Phase 3: Task Training at one year of age. 

In Phase 2, the dogs worked around high levels of distraction, and frequently received training sessions off-property. The dogs are used to working in a variety of environments, which helps proof their obedience and focus around more distractions. The dog's have excellent verbal command response, better obedience positioning, and have the ability to hold certain commands for long periods of time. These dogs have also received their AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title.
