Liberty Leash Project

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw, Ben Searle, and Gary Dawson discuss:

There is a need for highly trained service dogs for veterans.
The origin story and vital mission of the Liberty Leash Project.
The importance of standardization and collaboration across service dog training.
Things to consider when going into the dog training business.

Key Takeaways:

Service dogs are a medical implement for people and need to be trained to the highest standards.
Training service dogs should be about collaboration, not competition. A village model builds the most resilient dogs and sustainable trainers.
Different dogs require different levels of handling ability and different levels of training ability. When it comes to pairing dogs with veterans, they also require different dogs for different people, as no two people and no two dogs require the exact same thing.
If you're interested in helping with the Liberty Leash Project, no matter your skill set, reach out to Gary and Ben at the contact information below.

"We want these dogs to be these veterans' battle buddies and help them through their tough times and grow from it and thrive from it." — Gary Dawson
