Dogs Inc trains their furry friends to be guide and service dogs for the visually impaired, veterans with PTSD, Gold Star families and more.
But before they become caring champions, they're adorable puppies who need to start being comfortable around humans.
And that's where you come in.
"The puppies are learning how to interact with strangers, how to behave in someone's lap," says Brooke Parker, a puppy education and assessment specialist at Dogs Inc.
The puppy fun is open to all ages and costs $30 per person. Admission includes puppy bonding and a campus tour.
