New dogs learn new tricks during puppy training exercise at Detroit airport
Five puppies learning to be assistance dogs had a howling good time during a training exercise at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. During the training Tuesday, the quintet of pooches and their trainers rode an elevated tram and boarded an airplane. It was all part of an effort to acclimate the dogs to one of the many settings they may experience later in life. The training was led by Paws With A Cause -- a Wayland, Michigan-based nonprofit that oversees the custom training of puppies that become assistance dogs for people with disabilities. The group pairs puppies with volunteers who raise and socialize the dogs for the first year of their lives.
