- Training
  
  After passing the vetting process and before a canine is placed with a new foster, the new foster must go through a 2-hour orientation course with PK9s instructors on dog management. Also, basic rules/training techniques will be taught to shape the canine into becoming a service dog.
  
  After completion of the orientation class a person would then be able to receive a puppy to be taken home. They would then need to attend the rest of the courses with the puppy at appropriate times.
  
  All medical care will be provided by Pk9s. Appointments and transportation will be determined by PK9s staff. Foster may be required to transport canine to appointments if other arrangements cannot be made.
- This is an opportunity for the public to be a part of something great. It gives a volunteer the opportunity to learn training methods and techniques. To learn dog management skills. Also, the opportunity to volunteer and help our Veterans community in a way that is priceless. To give back to those who have given so much of themselves already. To feel pride in support of a unique program and to be a part of it as well. We at Patriot K9s thank you for wanting to be a part of our great organization.
