PROGRAM: Linda
Valliant, accompanied by Companion Puppy in Training “Lady”, =
was
our speaker today representing Canine Companions for Independence. They provide several types of do=
gs: 1. Service Dogs for people with mob=
ility
limitations; 2. Hearing Dogs for the deaf or hard of hearing; 3. Skilled
Companion Dogs for children with disabilities; and 4. Facility Dogs for
schools, hospitals, hospices, nursing facilities, etc. Unlike Guide Dogs for the Blind =
who
essentially make decisions for their owners, these companion dogs provide
assistance, help with many tasks, and provide companionship, but their ow=
ners
make decisions. Their dogs =
are
Labradors, Golden Retrievers and crosses of the two. They need to be smart, reliable =
and
desirous of pleasing and helping their owners. They breed, raise and train the =
dogs
using volunteers and donations.
It is a rigorous training program and only about 35%
“graduate”. There is almost no charge to the recipient. They provide continuing certific=
ation
and care for the dogs for their entire lifetimes. They have about 1000 active grads
(i.e. working dogs). This
organization was started in 1975 and their Southwest Regional Office is in
Oceanside. For more informa=
tion,
see their website at www.cci.org . Linda and
