Training

Getting Dakota was the easy part but training her was a whole different story. Even though Dakota is meaning to be a service dog, it takes time for one to learn all the necessary skills. Canas decided to teach Dakota all the basic obedient commands and was successfully with that. However, she knew that it was going to be hard teaching a young eager pup to be a service dog.

“In November of 2018 we got a trainer to teach Dakota how to exactly be a service dog. They took her away for three weeks and taught her all the skills she would need to help me.”

After the three weeks of training Canas received her dog back and the two got situated with each other. Now the next step would be getting back to school but this time with a dog.
