What’s This All About?
How did the Puppy In Training website come to be? When friends and family learned that I was raising a guide dog puppy in training I suddenly became an authority on dogs and puppies. I have read several books on dogs, dog training, dog tricks, and puppies, but never really considered myself an authority. I’m a fairly knowledgeable person on dogs, but I also have a tremendous resource including Linus’s trainer Sue Myles, Stetson’s trainer Ramona Audette, our entire Orange County Guide Dog’s of America group, the good people working at Guide Dogs of America in Sylmar, CA, and the power of the internet.
Why Puppy In Training?
“Puppy in Training” is the writing on Stetson’s training vest. Stetson is a Guide Dog puppy in training for the non-profit organization Guide Dogs of America and will hopefully some day be a full-fledged Guide Dog. I’m using these pages to share insight on his training as well as things I learn about Stetson, my rescue dog Linus, and all the doggy related questions I hear from day-to-day.
How Are You Different?
You can find many blogs on dogs and dog training. You can also find several blogs about my adventures as a guide dog puppy raiser. My goal is to blend the two together. I plan on adding value to each one of my articles by applying my knowledge and experience as a guide dog puppy raiser to every article I publish.
Puppy In Training is updated every weekday and every once in a while on weekends. Many of the images are of my dogs and other guide dog puppy’s in training from my group. Some images are taken from the web. If you see one that belongs to you then email me at ckmorita at gmail dot com and I will gladly credit it accordingly or remove it immediately.
