Start an applicationThere's a difference between being of service and being a servant. Being of service means giving joyfully, according to your ability, from the heart. Being a servant means giving out of obligation. Noticing a need and stepping forward to help — that's the whole idea, whether or not it's noticed, thanked, or recognized. It's unconditional, and it's done anyway.
That's the philosophy behind every dog we train and every family we work with.
