Whats The Difference Between A Service Dog Academy Puppy and A Puppy From A Traditional Breeder?

Unlike most breeders, we didn’t just get any random dog and put them together to make puppies. We chose highly screened dogs. One was from a line of natural blood sugar alerters, the other has successfully fathered several litters of puppies who all went into service dog programs. We screened our dogs for health issues like hip and elbow dysplasia, inherited eye conditions and thyroid problems. Our litter has been imprinted from day 2 with low blood sugar scent meaning your dog has a head up on the competition and will be alerting months before other puppies ever even recognize the scent. Our mother and father dogs are incredibly temperamentally sound meaning their offspring will carry their balanced personalities.

Our dogs are super food motivated meaning they will be incredibly easy to motivate during training, making your job thousands of times easier. Because Service Dog Academy owner has been allergic to dogs since 1995, we chose to use a hypoallergenic breed of dog to mate with our female, producing offspring that would be friendly to your allergies and asthma. The puppies are being raised in a household and not in a cold sterile kennel, making them easier to acclimate to your home and lifestyle. Each puppy will be exposed to at least 100 people, preventing the brain damage that is done to most puppies by scrupulous breeders who seclude their puppies from the public until they go home with you. We use the most updated scientific methods to enhance the neurological development of our puppies to ensure you have the best puppy possible. Service Dog Academy puppies are unique, they are exquisitely prepared for a career in service work or to be the best and smartest household pet you have ever had.

Could You Make Due Without A Service Dog Academy Puppy?

Yes. But let me share with you a story. One of my students, who shall remain nameless, did not read my ebook Super Puppy How To Find The Perfect Diabetic Alert Dog Candidate so when she went to get a puppy for her child with severe seizures she was completely unprepared. She came to me with a puppy she had spent zero time researching. It was a beautiful, bright eyed, six week old german shepherd puppy. She looked cute, cuddly and the way a puppy should look. But there were some serious red flags. She kept telling me how this was “meant to be” her child’s service dog because the child had picked out the puppy from the litter, never mind that the breeder had sold it to her way too young at 6 weeks old saying that the mother had “abandoned” it. But in her mind it was still “meant to be.” Despite my misgivings at boarding and training a puppy sold so young I took the dog in as a favor to the mother of this desperately sick child. They made multiple hours long trips over the next week to bond with the dog I was training. The child was in love with this dog, but I as a professional trainer, found red flag after red flag from the second she told me about how it was acting the minute she brought it home. The puppy was ravenously hungry, so much so that it was food aggressive. The puppy never had a stool that was solid and would not gain weight despite my best efforts at feeding it a home made gut calming diet and consistent vet visits and care. It repeatedly got sick while traveling in the car, something that made it impossible to do socialization work with. After 6 days of caring for the dog in an attempt to try to do at least some training in my home with the puppy, I called the mother and had the hard talk with her. She disagreed with my assessment that the dog was too sick to train right now and didnt want to hear my professional recommendations. I refunded all of her training fees and returned the dog to her. She spent weeks in and out of the vets office trying to figure out what was medically wrong with this dog. Now the sick child was bonded with a dog who was also sick and impossible to train given its car sickness. It was costing thousands of dollars in vet bills to keep this puppy alive, hours and hours per week attempting to “train” the puppy and manage its near constant diarrhea. Eventually the owner called me back a month later telling me that despite constant feeding, consistent vet care and many attempts to change the puppies diet, the puppy would not gain weight. It was skin and bones and was not thriving. The decision was eventually made to put the puppy to sleep. Could we have prevented this from happening? Absolutely. As an experienced trainer we know that puppies abandoned by their mother are usually abandoned for a reason. Instead of this breeder recognizing that this puppy needed his care, he decided for profits sake to force it on to the mother of a sick disabled child who wanted to train it for service work. Despicable. This my friends, is the current state of breeding in this world.
