What are the requirements to become a puppy raiser/sitter?
1. Attendance at 4 consecutive puppy classes. 2. Completion of the puppy manual review. This usually takes about three sessions with the volunteer who completes the new raiser orientation. GDB supplies each raiser/sitter with a Puppy Raising Manual. The manual includes health information, training techniques, and policies related to raising a puppy. 3. Attendance at a graduation on the GDB campus in San Rafael either before or soon after you get your puppy or do your first official puppy sit. 4. Completed puppy application and associated paperwork. 5. One home visit by two of the group leaders. 6. Sit for a current puppy in training from the group for 2-3 nights.
