Such joyful news and a testament to how much Service Dogs help us! This is from our newest trainer in VA – Catherine – with her SDIT, Baron! Catherine is a brilliant student at Virginia Tech!

“I wanted to let you guys know about something really exciting from Friday. I had a professional presentation on research I had done over the summer on Friday. In the past, this would have been a presentation that I would have been panicking over for weeks. I probably would have gotten so upset before the presentation even started that I would have to be excused and do the presentation in a quiet room with only the professor (if I could even do that).

With my SDIT Baron’s help, I was able to make it through the ENTIRE 2 hour presentation!!! I only had to step out twice, and Baron stayed by my feet or in a “cover” the whole time! I can’t believe I actually made it through my presentation and I am so proud of myself! I just wanted to thank you guys for everything because without Baron, I would still be hiding in my house ordering my groceries.

This is why I decided I wanted to be a trainer with SDE. I want other people to have this moment for themselves too!!

Thank you and much love from Baron & Catt!

CATT – THAT IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT!!! WE ARE ALL SOOO VERY PROUD OF YOU – WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT! TWO HOURS – HOW MANY OF US COULD DO THAT? YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF AND WE ALL ARE SENDING THE BIGGEST OF HUGS TO BARON!!!!
