The recent Handicap Help Accessibility Event was an unforgettable experience, thanks to remarkable contributions from our dedicated team and community advocates. Among the highlights was the impactful presentation by Don White, the skilled trainer behind Tru Mission K9s. Don shared his vast expertise on service dog training, accessibility, and the essential role these loyal companions play in improving quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

Demonstrating both training techniques and practical applications, Don’s presentation shed light on the importance of carefully training service dogs to meet accessibility standards and adapt to unique needs.
