Sadie Sunday!

Way to go team! Keep radiating your sunshine every where you go! 💚✨

Elite Service Canine Chaucer and his person worked so hard today!
Chaucer is learning to “Front-Block” his person at every cross walk and/or intersection. He isn’t to cross until she asks him to. This keeps his person safe from accidentally walking out into oncoming traffic.
In this short clip you will see Chaucer’s handler ask him to “cross” but he remains solid and planted in his “Front-Block” position.
This is because we asked a fellow driver to stop in the middle of the cross walk. Chaucer is learning intelligent disobedience. When it is not safe for him and his person to cross the road he will not listen to her command. This will let his handler know that it is not safe to cross and will catch her attention from other distractions around them. Allowing for them to safely cross the road together.
Fantastic work team. 💚✨

What is a behaviour interruption❓
👉A behaviour interruption is when your canine is trained to interrupt and alert to you any unwanted behaviour(s) that you perform.
Take a look at Elite Service Canine Sadie letting her person know they’re scratching their leg and to “hey stop that!” 💚✨

👉My dog isn’t treat motivated. 👉My dog has no drive to work.
👉My dog gets to easily distracted during our training sessions I don’t bother
These are the top 3️⃣ things we hear during our initial intake interviews with clients.
Our first question…are YOU more exciting than the environment around them?
Are you giving your dog 100%? If you want them to give their 100% it’s only fair you’re giving yours…isn’t it?
We LOVE our friends over at who make incredible tugs and treat & tug, engagement and reward based training gear for our canine athletes!
These toys are meant for training purposes only and can be easily attached to treat pouches and backpacks!

✨Blitzen✨
Blitzen is a 9 month old Kelpie! He is so smart, curious and eager to learn! Blitzen’s parents usually take him to the woods off leash for exercise and to burn off steam. They struggle with him on leash. He’s a strong fella! Today Blitz worked on some basic foundational skills and body positions and absolutely rocked it!
Way to go buddy we are so proud of you! 💚👊

Elite Service Canine Skor wants to answer your question on why you should be a puppy raiser!
Please take a minute to read a bit about our recipient and her family below💚✨
“From the day my daughter was born she was a girl with a “little extra” You see she was born with Down syndrome, an extra chromosome in every cell of her body. She requires extra care as she has many complex medical concerns, and a continually growing list of “extras”
I don’t think anyone truly knows the debilitating affects of living a life as a single parent of a high needs complex child who also has a disability and many chronic health conditions. Being in a constant state of stress as you continue to fight to have basic needs met. Continually having to request assistance, advocate for better care, services, rights is both overwhelming and exhausting, there is no true reprieve. The feeling of being alone, knowing there is something physically wrong with you, yet you have no energy, resources or time for self care. I am at the point of self preservation and just getting through each day. The pressure of being the one and only and a feeling of sadness that you are failing is a true internal struggle.
This has led to a personal diagnosis of PTSD and FND, yet more “Extras” for my wee family. Often overwhelmed yet eternally optimistic has become my new motto.
My journey began with a little extra. A little extra enthusiasm, a little extra innocence, a little extra charm and the most unconditional love, all packed into one extra chromosome, inside one extra special girl.
My hope is that with sharing a part of my story with you, you are both inspired, and see the immense value in supporting my family in fostering/raising a puppy that will become our service dog. You will be a part of the “little extra” help we so desperately need. A way to bring light to us and enable us to truly shine. I thank you for considering our family and I look forward to the many little extras the future has to hold.
With gratitude.”

Our dogs ALWAYS have the freedom to choose. We help them manage the outcome of their choices but we never choose for them.
You see that dog right there in front of you? Looking up at you?
What they need is trust, patience, kindness and compassion.
They’re looking up to you for guidance, reassurance, love and most importantly it is your job as their handler to make their life a little less uncertain and a little more inspiring.💚✨

You want to know what’s hard?
Training a dog.
You want to know what’s harder?
Training your own service dog.
Please don’t get lost in the little things. We know how big they feel. We know how frustrated you are. But let’s pick thing’s apart and look in on it a different way.
This past weekend team Sadie attend their first ever Agility Fun Match!
We are so incredibly proud of this team and all of the amazing “little” things Sadie & her person are tackling and most importantly learning together!!
Keep being fabulous you two! We are your number one fans!!💚✨
