BECOME A PUPPY RAISER!
We often have young dogs and puppies we are raising to become Police or Personal Protection dogs. These young puppies require exposure to numerous environmental stimuli that are simply not available at our kennel. As such we seek to place our puppies with families interested in offering them a stimulating and educational upbringing that prepares them for this life. Our puppy raisers will typically keep and raise our pups until they are 10 months old. During this time you will be expected to come to our location and do some training with us on a semi regular basis, 1-2 times per month. Shield K9 will provide food and vet care.
Puppy Raisers will receive $1600 upon completion of the “raise” period.
PUPPY RAISERS MUST:
1. Live within 1.5 hours of our location in Puslinch
2. Be available for minimum 2 training sessions per month
3. Be above the age of 21, have an appropriate residence and a stable life situation
If you think you would be interested in raising one of our puppies, please contact us with your details.
