Learn how to train service and facility dogs. We are now accepting applications from individuals who are interested in becoming a service dog trainer. In response to a poor economy, the FSDS has sought to create a work study opportunity for those interested in service dog training regardless of ability to afford tuition. Our work study program allows individuals to raise a service or facility dog under professional guidance in lieu of paying tuition. If you are interested in learning how to train service and/or facility dogs, then please contact us to learn more. Click here to download the application packet.


TEAM OF THE MONTH

Bill and ZeusWe congratulate Peoria Police Detective Bill Weigt and his certified service dog "Zeus" on having been chosen as this months featured team. Bill was left paralyzed following a line of duty shooting while apprehending a murder suspect following a drug deal gone bad. For his bravery, he received numerous awards including winner of the prestigious 2009 America's Most Wanted All-Star Award. Bill was awarded Zeus by the FSDS in appreciation of his service and sacrifice to community.

With Zeus at his side to assist with mobility issues, Bill continues to work with the Peoria Police Department and make a positive impact on his community. He and Zeus also coach Pop Warner football. Bill and Zeus lecture around the community and have worked hard to bring awareness to service dog and disability issues. They are truly ambassadors of good will for the FSDS. Four paws up to Bill and Zeus!
