A special thank you goes to

No Name Riders Motorcycle Club.

Over twenty people spent a day on our property fixing everything!

They replaced a deck, tore down an old shed, clean up our outdoor kennels, trimmed trees and cleared brush out of the property. Check out their video here!

Our director, Denise (left) is so excited to be standing on her new deck! Our board member Matt (right) and No Name Rider Neil (center holding jacket) helped to organize and direct the work party. Neil's wife Moe took tons of photos and put together this video packed full of all their work. Thanks everyone for joining the fun!

TRAINING A DOG TAKES PLACE

EIGHT WEEKS TO TWO YEARS MATURITY

COST: $30,000

Most people in need cannot afford the cost so Brigadoon Service Dog became a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2004 in order to help bridge the financial gap. Civilians pay a third of the cost and veterans never pay.

DOGS: 8 to 16 months -- Live with PRISON PROGRAM inmates 24/7 for daily intermediate level training

using positive reinforcement of praise and nibbles of food.

(Inmates with Denise CoStanten, their instructor -- our Founder and Executive Director.)

Client & Dog Relationship: Brigadoon provides ongoing service for as long as the two are together.
