I’m ever so grateful to my Miley! I got her as 11 month old pup. I admittedly didn’t do my due diligence when I adopted he and didn’t research her breed. It was the best mistake I ever made because had I researched coonhounds I never would have adopted one because they are high energy, strong willed, determined, opinionated, stubborn and defiant. I figured out quickly that I needed to figure out how to train her before she drove us both crazy and both of us are already within walking distance. She inspired me to go on the journey of learning everything I could about dog training. We offered each other patience, forgiveness, love and understanding as we both learned. When I told people that I was going to train a coonhound to be a service dog, people thought I was crazy but also grabbed their popcorn and pulled up a chair to watch the comedic show that was likely to ensue. It was a long and wild ride but the two of were committed and I knew from day one that Miley loved having a job and when she put her vest on she went from a wild, crazy, energetic goofy dog to a focused professional!! She passed her service dog exam in May of 2022!! She is the second best thing that ever happened to me. The best thing that happened to me was her big brother Winston who made me realize that I needed a dog in my life and then sent Miley to me after he crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge!!
