Bella goes just about everywhere that we go. In her 8 months with us she has just about seen and done it all. Bella has gone to school plays and concerts, wrestling meets and even gone to school with our daughter. Bella has been in all kinds of stores, restaurants, in parades, county fairs, a funeral, even an Alice Cooper concert! Mini-golfing, boating, you name it. She takes it as it comes.
Of course, nobody is perfect. Bella's biggest training challenge is to greet people calmly, with dignity. We have been working on that by applying pressure to her pinch collar and reminding her firmly for a calm greeting. We are seeing success in this. And, she loves to lay on peoples feet which can really get in the way.
I'd love to hear from others raising puppies for any kind of service work.

Hi Buddy and Bella! How are you two lovely puppies? I'm just looking for some more info on OccuPaws, do you two know if there is a specific region for puppy raisers or can they live anywhere for OccuPaws? I've raised two puppies before for Guide Dogs for the Blind and am ready for a new school and new puppy! I love the look of your organization and would love to learn more! Let me know!
