EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) – A trip to the airport can be stressful for anyone, but for those that need an assistance dog that is especially true.
That’s why “Can Do Canines” are training to become familiar with the airport environment at the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport Friday.
Volunteers with “Can Do Canines” provide homes for assistance dogs in training that are ages 6 weeks to roughly 2.5 years old, with the job of helping socialize and train the dogs.
Friday’s trip will help the dogs become used to working in a high stress environment.
Erin Whitfield, Volunteer Pack Leader, says this is the third year that “Can Do Canines” have gone to the Chippewa Valley airport. She hopes they can continue to do this training for years to come.
