Guide Dog Foundation graduate, Bryan Gearry, has traveled the world with his Golden Retriever guide dogs, Sergeant (retired), and Camden!

We teach our service dogs "shake" so that their handlers have a way for their dogs to greet the public when they choose to do so. Check out the video to see Black Labrador service dog, Gary, practicing shake during his time on class with his veteran.

We have a new class of veterans on campus for the next two weeks, and it is always a pleasure to see them form friendships throughout their stay with us. America's VetDogs serves veterans, and first responders from around the country. Most of our handlers travel to, and train on our campus in Smithtown, NY, but some of our clients do receive home training in special cases.
