Canine Companions Graduation is a joyful and moving celebration where individuals with disabilities are officially matched with their expertly trained service dogs. These ceremonies mark the beginning of lifelong human-canine partnerships—opening the door to greater independence, confidence, and connection.

Graduations are held at each of our six regional training centers and are open to the public. Join us in person or watch online to witness the moment lives are transformed through the power of service dogs.
