Meet Service Puppies
Meet Service Dogs & Greet Puppies-in-Training! In-Person
Have you ever seen a highly trained service dog in action? Learn what they can do!
Meet a handsome hero and some puppies who are just taking their first steps toward service.
You’ll also learn about ECAD’s (Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities) volunteer opportunities, including the puppy weekend-fostering program.
Service dogs can transform the lives of people with disabilities. ECAD Puppy Instructor Christina Canaletich will show you how Labradors and Golden Retrievers trained in Northwestern Connecticut help keep clients mobile, safe, and independent.
ECAD (Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities) is non-profit organization in Winchester that provides hundreds of hours of training to dogs that assist children and adults who need help with mobility, PTSD, autism, and a wide range of medical issues. During this presentation, we’ll learn how ECAD dogs are trained to wear a balance harness, retrieve medical bags, open automatic doors, and many more assistive and safety services. Learn more about ECAD’s work at their website.
