Cost: Free
The Canine Companions for Independence graduation ceremony is an emotional and inspiring event in which people with disabilities receive their new, highly trained assistance dogs. These dogs, which are provided free of charge to the graduates, have been in training for two years and know approximately 40 commands to help with everyday practical tasks. Graduation follows an intensive, two-week, residential Team Training course with these new human/canine partners at the Canine Companions Southwest Regional Facility in Oceanside. Graduation is open to the public and admission is free. Working dogs and Canine Companions puppies only; no pets, please. Webcast is viewable online for those who cannot attend in person.
