Sometimes your service dog just looks like a big fluffy baby!!!
Jimmy has chewed the rope off our ball and now it looks like a dummy. The big softy still wants to play even though it’s night time.

Does your dog do anything like this?

When you hit your sister in the face, she tells on you, and you’re very proud of yourself regardless!!!

Dogs have their own personalities just like humans, they are beautiful to watch and see their bonds grow.

When you have had a hard days work, it is always important to take care of one’s self. Jimmy likes to get into his “zen” mode as we call it.

It differs from his usual travel mode which is sleep/recharge. This is usually identified by the melted lab face or if in the back seat an upside down dog!

Jimmy our in-training assistance dog, firstly clearly he has chosen QLD for State of Origin 🥰 proud mum!Secondly he has also learnt to carry a cold can down stairs to the kitchen and then hand over the can for a cheeky treat and a kiss.

Have we had setbacks… oh yes!! We have started outside with empty cans in stubby coolers with him on a lead to all the way up to being able to be off lead upstairs with a cold can by itself. There has been cans punctured halfway down stairs with soda going up walls and everywhere Jimmy pointed it, dropped cans when they were too cold going everywhere, he even tried to hold onto the can to barter for higher treats!

The meaning of this? Dogs aren’t robots, they make mistakes, we can’t program them and training takes time and effort. They love learning and spending time with you, take it easy and have fun with it. Find ways that work for you and your dog.

One of the trained tasks in-training assistance dog Jimmy has, is to retrieve/carry items.

This is a 4L liquid washing machine detergent, which he is carrying from the shopping bag into the laundry for me.

Delilah teaching in-training Assistance dog Jimmy how and where to sit when in the kitchen. This is important as this is a advantage spot so no one can sneak up behind while cooking, they are in a place out of the way and I know exactly where they are so they are safe.

Dogs love lots of different things to mentally stimulate them. Don’t get stuck in the box with what a trainer tells you to use. Do your research and find safe toys or activities your dog likes.

Let’s just say, the yellow labs had an amazing 1st birthday. All dogs joined in on the party, Sarge was a little distracted by his tub!! #assistancek9 #dogparty #assistancedogs #assistancedogtraining

Staffy balls are great when your dog learns how to play with them! Here is AD in-training Jimmy and AD Delilah playing with their Staffy balls. Del loves hers so much she drools for it instead of food!

The vacuum is always a tough sometimes scary thing for dogs. Let you dog investigate the vacuum while it is on its own, turned off. Then slowly start to hold the vacuum, move the vacuum while it’s still turned off then eventually turn it on. Do this slowly over a period of time. Don’t force it upon the dog. Don’t try to chase or flood the dog with the vacuum. Give praise and encouragement for all positive interactions the dog has.
