She worked with on their socializing, training, basic obedience, and good house manners. All while providing a safe and happy environment for the puppy before its return to the school in FL to finish its advanced harness training.

Samantha raised two guide dog puppies that successfully made it through the program and are now fully trained guide dogs making a difference and helping their owners through everyday life.
