In 2013 I became a puppy training volunteer with Canine Partners, an assistance dog charity which partners specially trained dogs with people with disabilities. Over the years I socialised puppies from 7 weeks through to 12-14 months, exposing them to a wide range of situations and experiences to help them develop into happy, confident and obedient dogs. I love working with Canine Partners and hope to recruit more puppy training volunteers for these amazing dogs. My talk, which includes an illustrated Powerpoint presentation, will demonstrate what that entails, including the highs and lows of being a puppy training volunteer and will cover other volunteering opportunities within the charity.
