Training service dogs is a lot of work and begins

Training service dogs is a lot of work and begins as soon as we find suitable candidates. Whether the puppy is 12 weeks or 9 months old, the process is the same.

Here at Dog Tag Buddies, finding suitable candidates and getting them moving forward on the best paw is incredibly important to us and you can help.

How can you make a difference?

1️⃣ If you are in the local Yellowstone County area, consider becoming a puppy raiser. This is a huge commitment, but comes with huge rewards. Visit our website to sign up as a volunteer and we will follow up.

2️⃣ Consider sponsoring a puppy through training. Every gift, small or large makes a difference and our services are provided to veterans at no cost. It costs approximately $23,000 the first two years for acquisition, training and support of each team, including food, veterinary care and supplies.

3️⃣ Check out our Amazon wish list, or support Dog Tag Buddies through Amazon Smile, https://smile.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/GJ114Z4SXJJI/ref=smi_ext_lnk_lcl_cl

4️⃣ Share our posts and tell others about our organization.

This little nugget is Tomahawk, one of our newest service dogs in training.

We couldn't do all we do without your support. Thank you!

Tomahawk aka Hawk is working on his skills, specifically being too adorable. This little potato hopes to grow up to be a service dog for a veteran. Once he is matched with the perfect veteran, he and his veteran will spend 1 1/2 to 2 years to learn all he needs to be success. #servicedogintrainingpuppy #futureptsdservicedog #22untilnone #veteransupport #Montanaservicedogsintraining

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

To all the men and women who have taken up that duty, we thank you for your service.

3 AKC CGC evals, 4 AKC Community evals and 4 AKC Urban evals. These teams are working hard to become fully trained service dogs. These evaluations are just a small part of their big accomplishments. Thank you to @billingsscheels for always being so accommodating to our veterans and their dogs. Keep up the great work, teams! @teamzulu625 @badagnes
