“I was attracted to the job because of the opportunity to be around puppies and assisting with their births. Since starting here a few years ago, I have learned so much more than I ever thought I would. And, I’ve had a great team that has helped support my growth. To know that we are making an impact in someone’s life that we don’t personally know is a gift that I never knew I could give.”

“Working with our dogs is already the best job ever, but when you see what they mean to our clients, it gives you a deep appreciation of how much effort went into this dog’s journey to get where they are. It’s a feeling that can’t be replicated, or even fully explained. Having just finished my Apprenticeship, I’m really just starting. The difference between GDB and other organizations is that I feel I can have a career here.”

“GDB is ‘Ivy League’ in the service dog industry, both in terms of ethical training practice and the quality of its services. I am surrounded by fantastic people who work hard, but also know how to have a good time. I could not have designed myself a more satisfying career path, whether helping puppies grow and develop, building raisers’ skill and competence, or watching it all come together in training and class.”
