An Evening With Peggy Law and Service Dogs of Virginia

Make your plans today and join us as we welcome Peggy Law founder of Service Dogs of Virginia. She’ll be discussing 3 programs where service dogs are trained to help humans. The first program is for people in wheelchairs, where the dogs are trained to assist in every day functions such as opening a door, picking up dropped items and much more. The second program is for dogs helping children with autism. These dogs are trained to among other things help the children in public places and help those with high anxiety to remain calmer. The third program is for service dogs who can alert a Type 1 Diabetic that their blood sugar is dropping. Peggy will also describe how a service dog goes from being a naïve puppy to becoming a vital part of the team. It’s sure to be an impressive presentation and you’ll be astounded at what these dogs can do. RSVP to 434.823.9100 or rsvp@lodgeatoldtrail.com
