Graduation represents the completion of a long journey for the team. The puppy begins training in volunteer homes or at one of five Minnesota and Wisconsin prisons, where they are taught basic obedience and early assistance dog skills. After 22 months, they return to Can Do Canines for final training with staff and to begin their new life with a person with a disability. All are welcome to join us for this virtual event, and no RSVP is required. More information about Graduation.

Bring your friends and well-behaved dogs and join us at the Can Do Woofaroo—a one-mile walk and festival that benefits Can Do Canines!

Through a self-guided tour, attendees will be able to watch a trainer working with an assistance dog, talk with a Puppy Program volunteer, and meet graduate teams from each of the five types of areas Can Do Canines trains dogs: hearing, mobility, seizure, diabetes and childhood autism. No pre-registration is needed.
