A confident dog doesn't happen in a day. It takes time, care, patience, and resiliency ⛰️

These two cuties Phoebe (red tri) and Chandler (blue merle) started training with me 2.5 months ago when they came to their home. I had worked with their older dog Joey 🦘 so on-boarding these two was a no brainer! From the get go, Phoebe was reserved and had shown some concerns about people, dogs and just lacking general confidence.

Lots of the work with these two has been little bits of obedience in their yard where it feels safe for them, and then exploring quiet trails and letting the pups choose where to go on our walks. We've done settle in quiet new environments, confidence building games in the woods, and advocating if one of the pups doesn't want to be pet that they can just watch and not need to be pet by strangers.

Today myself and "Noelle" ( ) had a HUGE breakthrough with Phoebe's confidence. Phoebe:

• Took food from Noelle, and wiggled up to her
• Interacted with a polite older dog (loose body, then opted out when she was done)
• Watched a group of frisbee golfers
• Explored, jumped, and climbed around new trails in the forest
• And offered loose leash walking!

Underconfident, anxious and fearful dogs are tough, and often a long emotionally exhausting road for owner and dog alike. So small victories are fantastic ways to log success!
Your fearful dog looked at a trigger and moves away without panic? Celebrate 🥳 Their tail isn't tucked and loose? Celebrate 🥳

As trainers, we strive to set up owners and their pups for success, and a lot of that success comes from working on this at home between sessions! 🙌

An update to our service dog classes ❤️‍🩹

Something I have been discussing with my team over the past few weeks is updating out group policy on tools. I want to emphasize, this is not meant to attack, exclude or villianize training styles and equipment.

As force free trainers we hold certain beliefs, however, this change has come about because we strive to set our students up for success if they're working towards the public access test (which at this time does limit tools)

I will be honouring all students current booked class for April 12th, which will not be required to follow the new policy. In May, we will be asking the policy be followed.

If you have concerns, or questions please let me know. I am always open to conversation without judgement.

Happy world autism awareness day from one autistic to another 🎊 here at Sherbert Service Dogs, we are proudly owned, operated, and employ autistic individuals! 🫶

Throughout April, we plan to share stories of our amazing Autism service dogs, and the impact dogs have for autistic individuals around the world. It's important to remember while awareness is the first step, acceptance is the end goal.

Athena SDiT here to demonstrate the biggest skill for service dogs and the secret to unlocking calm pet dogs 🫢
🎊 SETTLING 🎊

Why you may be asking is this so important?
• A settle helps your dog learn to relax independently
• Independence from handler
• Makes transitions from activities easier (walk then calm at home)

But where can I practice this skill?
• AT HOME, the starting place for all new skills 👏
• Your table
• Benches at the park
• Pet friendly spaces with seating!

Ready to kick-start your dogs relaxation training? Contact us at [email protected] or DM when we're next accepting new clients!

Some session captures from today ✨🦮

1) SDiT Prince works on his "leave it" in a busy mall
2) SDiT Bucky and SD Albert hold down stays + implied leave it (no playing/sniffing eachother!)
3) SD Albert works on refining his paw target for his button task

These three super poodles worked on a variety of skills today to keep their training moving. Bucky and Prince are currently focusing on "leave it", "under" and "tuck". All vital skills for restaurant manners!

And my service dog Albert continues to polish his newest task "push" for buttons to open doors.

Photo description:

Image 1) Prince, a large black poodle lays on white tile. To his left is a pile of kibble. He looks away from the kibble.

Image 2) to the left, Bucky a small black poodle lays on a giant monopoly board square. He wears a round teal service dog vest and looks at the camera. To the right, Albert a larger poodle lays on a different monopoly square. He wears a rounded teal service dog vest, and looks at the camera.

Video 1) Albert jumps his paws up to a square handicap door button. He hits slightly above the button, and then moves his paws down to hit the button. The camera pans to see the door open. Bucky, his handler, and Albert all walk out the door.

Spring break being new things here at SSD! 🌞🎉

If you've booked with me in the last week, you'll have already seen, but I am making the change to update my business hours for a few reasons:

1) scheduling regular lunch breaks

2) having time within business hours to send out homework + recaps

3) keeping admin + socials work within business hours (including texting, emails, and DMs)

4) I work a day job as a behaviour interventionist when I'm not training dogs, so I simply don't want to burn out

With all of that said, spring break means my hours are a bit different until April 1st, because I have some extra work as a Bl, but in April the biggest change is I'll have 9:30-6pm available Wednesdays!

Email or DM us if you have any questions or concerns

Your service dog completing their training is a big deal! But, that doesn't mean it's the end of the road, and you don't practice those things again.

Even fully trained dogs need touch ups and consistency. They may perform the same task several times a week, and can be rewarded to motivate them to keep up the great work!

My own service dog Albert (poodle in the first and last slides) loves his job, and tasking is his favourite skill. We also continue to work on things like loose leash walking staying polished, improving his retrieval tasks, and hitting buttons! All work he likes because he gets rewarded and enjoys it 💖

Rainy day walks in the forest 🫶🌲

On Saturday, I got the opportunity to take out Isaac the Aussie for his owner Taylor, so he got a nice long walk when she was away. Isaac was a perfect gentleman on the trails with dogs, people, bikes and the extensive amount of rainfall we encountered!

If you're planning a day out or a trip, reach out to schedule a walk for your pup, so they can keep up their routine! 🐕

*Please note, we do not accept appointments on weekends except for specific situations / limited times. Email to find out more*

Client spotlight: Sherlock! ✨

I first met Sherlock and his family back at the end of October. They were struggling with Sherlock getting really excited and refusing to move if he saw another dog, people or animals. The biggest concern was he took this excitement and started biting and pulling at the leash.
We addressed his exercise needs, desensitized to more dogs at a distance, taught him to walk on a leash, and tried different harnesses and equipment to find his perfect fit.

In the last month we've focused on him working with his handlers and then feeling confident with Sherlock's skills, and the tools in their kit for making walks enjoyable for all!

Being a young golden retriever, Sherlock still loves life, but this week on sessions he was calm and collected, responsive to his cues, and didn't redirect his arousal to myself or his handler! 🥳

*I've attached videos of when he first started with me, and this week's session videos*

So so so proud of this team for all the work everyone has put in over this time, and can't wait to see their progress 🫶

Hudson visits .bubbletea for a training evening! 🧋

7 month old Hudson came out to train at our favourite bubble tea place. Shops like these are great exposure for service puppies because they have:
• loud noises
• seats to practice tuck
• lots of people coming through
• different smells & sights

Go puppy! 🦮💖

Photo & video descriptions:

*courtesy post* adopt Pip! ❤️‍🩹 Pipsqueak is a 3 year old Pomeranian looking for his forever home.

"I took him in after he was dumped at a vet to be euthanized with the intention of giving him a chance to find the right home. Now it’s time to start looking for his proper home."

About Pipsqueak:
He’s 3, almost 4, born April 21st, 2021. He was vet checked as healthy and sound before I picked him up. He’s neutered. He’s 8 lbs and very fluffy. He does have alopecia on his rear end. There has been some improvement while living with me.

He was initially brought to the vet for nipping at his owner. The Vet refused to put down a young healthy dog.
For the most part I’ve found him to be a sweet, fairly well behaved rambunctious Pom.
He’s playful, likes to fetch and play tug and has been discovering the joys of sniffy games.
Out on walks he likes to greet people.
In the house he can be quite quiet when his needs are well met, though I have encountered some demand barking for things such as being brought up on the bed for bed time.
He will also bark rapidly when you try to close a door between you. (Seperation anxiety)

The only times he has nipped me has been while grooming him. He’s very sensitive to his hair being pulled.
With a dedicated loving person and a trainer all of these things can be worked on and he would be a wonderful companion.
I do think he’d thrive best in a peaceful single person household with an active person who would take him on long walks and adventures together.

Pros:
-He’s very friendly to people.
-He walks well on leash
-He knows basic commands like “sit” “down” “on your mat” and “paw”
-He’s intelligent and is easy to train but can be stubborn
-He likes to sit on your lap and get pets, belly rubs, and snuggles
-He’s very sturdy and has a lot of endurance and loves being outside

Cons:
-Pip has reactivity around being groomed. He will nip.
-He has some resource guarding tendencies
-He has separation anxiety
-He’s reactive towards large dogs
-He demand barks
-Only mostly house trained, will use a p*e pad instead of going out if allowed.

Email us at [email protected] and we will connect you with his foster home.

Pip will come with some complimentary training from myself as I had the honour to work with him.

A tale of two service brothers 🦮

Bucky (first slide) and his brother Prince (second slide) have both been training for service work with me since they came home, and are now approaching completion of training 🥺

They are both 18 months old now, and are hopefully getting certified later this year! Here's what they're both working on:

• longer stays and settling in different situations
• tasking in busy shops
• school visits
• working around different dogs
• new tasks

Super proud of these teams for their hard work and dedication paying off 🎉

Photo description:

Service puppies in training Athena (Poodle) & Charlie (CKCS) sporting our newest gear from .doodle ! 🌞

I love customizable gear for my service dog. He has everything from a program vest, a stardew valley setup, to a Disney purple vest. But having a sharp professional option for my clients to choose from is important ❤️‍🩹
Currently the gear options I offer are:
1) a leash wrap (mandatory for SD clients)
2) new branded patches (optional)
3) full program vests (optional)

At 4.5 and 5 months old, these puppies are working hard in their training! Both are working on their basic obedience and some public access (pet friendly, and non pet friendly with permission)

Congratulations to team Theo 👏🥳

Yesterday was a private session that marked the end of Theo's Reactivity Relief program, and it's safe to say he and his mom crushed it! Over the span of 8(ish) weeks, this team went from explosive frustration and excitement, to calm & easier to redirect reactions. They both put in lots of work in and out of our sessions to get Theo to this point, the biggest reason for success!! ❤️‍🩹

Yesterday we challenged Theo by taking him to the dog park he used to visit, and worked outside the park. He had some zoomies, and a few small reactions, but didn't let that stop them from their walk, and kept going.

Reactivity is a lifelong journey with ups and downs, so I don't believe in "curing" reactivity, but that dogs and their human counterpart have tools in their kit to set them up for long-term success! Let's leave a kind comment for someone navigating reactivity. 🫶
