WHAT IS A STUDENT TRAINER?
ISU students participate as student trainers or foster homes for service dogs. Each student trainer is assigned a dog or dogs to work with. During the time with the dog, the trainer goes through a normal routine of attending classes and running errands, while also teaching skills to the dog. The trainer is responsible for the dog for the duration of the dog’s visit on campus, and he or she must complete a training report at the end of the day.
