About Us
| |
|
|
We are a group of volunteers that raise puppies for The
Seeing Eye. Puppies are brought to our homes when they are
7 weeks old. It is our job to teach basic obedience, give them
social exposure, and lots of love.
|
| Our club meets twice a month on the second and fourth Wednesdays
of each month. Meeting time is 7:00 p.m at the Rutgers Cooperative
Extension building on Whitesville Rd. (Rt.527) in Toms River, NJ. While
at the meetings we socialize the pups to each other and to other people.
We use the stairs and the elevator for added exposure. Also,
we go over basic obedience training and review good puppy manners.
We have taken our puppies on many field trips, both near
and far. Some trips have included visits to the Liberty Science Center,
The Franklin Institute, and watching a Lakewood Blue Claws baseball game.
In addition, we have gone on many train rides, bus rides and even for a
ride on the Cape May Ferry.
|
During the school year, we give presentations at various schools
and community organizations throughout Ocean County. The summer months are
busy as well with the many library presentations that are scheduled through
the Ocean County Library system. One of our favorite summer activities
with our puppies is going to the beach.
|
|
When a pup reaches the age of 14 - 18 months, it returns to
The Seeing Eye for formal harness training. After this training is
finished and before the dog is matched with its blind person, we are invited
to observe them on a "Town Walk" with their trainer.
For further information on raising a puppy or to have a
group presentation given, please contact the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Office at
(732) 349-1227 or email us at puppypower@oc4hpuppypower.com . |
