This is my DREAM job! I would love to go to the Bergen University of Canine Studies and get my degree in Canine Studies, but unfortunately life doesn't always let you live your dreams. sigh.

    I work with a man who has a service dog (he has PTS from the military) and he got his dog through Puppies Behind Bars and he is now working with their organization. I would love to hear more on this subject also.

    I specifically would love to work for paws for purple hearts. The dogs who work with PTSD victims simply amaze me. Read "Until Tuesday" and you will know exactly what I mean

    Yes, my dog Skip and I are a therapy dog team. We visit hospitals and nursing homes. I have worked with 2 different organizations training service dogs. There is a big difference between therapy and service dogs. What would like to know?
