A trip to the dentist for Sprout with his puppy raiser

Behind every great service dog are amazing raisers. Real-world outings like this help these pups learn to stay calm, thoughtful, and adaptable in all kinds of environments.

Celebrating amazing owner trained graduates this week, starting with Ryan and Aspyn 💛

Aspyn, a Toy Poodle with a big job, is proving once again that smaller dogs can make incredible service dogs. This team has grown so much together and built an impressive range of solid, reliable tasks along the way.

Such a fun family to work with, and we already miss seeing them in class. So proud of this team and everything they’ve accomplished together.

This one’s close to home.

Caelan recently had the chance to share more about the work we do at Aspen Service Dogs. He joined the Tales of Fluff Podcast for a conversation about what these dogs really mean for the people they support.

We’ve seen clients go from relying on others to living independently with the right dog by their side and we get into that here.

If you have a few minutes, we’d love for you to check it out. We’ll share the YouTube and Spotify links below:

We had such a fun time today exploring the new TELUS World of Science feature “Dogs! A Science Tail”. From wolves to working partners, this exhibit brings the science of dogs to life. We loved being there to help bring that story to life.

Celebrating fully trained graduate Saturn and her incredible, warm, and loving family.

In honour of National Volunteer Week, we’re especially reminded that it takes a village to raise a service dog. From early days to graduation, so many people play a role in shaping these partnerships.

A heartfelt thank you to Saturn’s amazing raisers:
Erin
Ryan, Amy, and family
Gabi and Cole

Each of you played such an important and meaningful part in the dog she has become today. Thank you!

Saturn’s journey is a reflection of what volunteer support makes possible. We’re so proud of this team and so grateful for everyone who helped her get here.
