Miss #pphluana always enjoys her swim lessons near our #pphanchorage facility and doesn't skip a beat when one of her favorite toys is tossed in the water! With summer right around the corner, it's a good thing she has become a water dog!

It was a big week for our two youngest girls. #pphmargaret and #pphluana went swimming for the first time! Both were a little nervous but eventually gave it a shot. Lulu seemed to enjoy it the most, and Meg might need a little more practice. Either way, we're so proud of our #servicedogsintraining πΎπ Also, we'd like to say a special "thank you" to Heather at @k9aquatics for being so patient with our girls in the pool!

We hope you all have as much energy and excitement on this Monday as #pphmargaret does when she's tasking! Start the week off right with this adorable throwback video of Meg practicing different commands during her lunchtime πΎπ

Yesterday was a big day for #pphopaulII! He took his first swim lesson at @k9aquatics and had so much fun! It took a little competition from his buddy #pphreagan to convince him to really go for it, but then it didn't take long before we was swimming and retrieving like a pro! Good job, Paul!

Did you know that a major part of training to become a Service Dog is learning how to behave properly in public places? So to help our #servicedogsintraining we take them to all sorts of places, especially restaurants! They learn to walk nicely to their table without trying to eat food off the floor. Then, they learn to quietly and discretely sit under the table or booth for the entire meal. All our #pphalaska girls did great when we had breakfast with each of them and their Puppy Parents! πΎπ

Our #servicedogsintraining work so hard every day at their training, but that means they sleep a lot too! #pphkreitzberg is our big boy, so he needs extra naps! What a good boy πΎπ #pawsforpurplehearts #pphalaska #nonprofit #labsofinstagram #goldensofinstagram #naptime
Being in Alaska means that our #servicedogstraining get exposed to some pretty cool things. A few weeks ago, #pphopaulII got to see a moose and her calf up close while we were at an event with the soldiers of Fort Richarson. I think he was more startled by the snow falling on his head than the giant animals, but he processed the entire experience perfectly with the help of his trainer, Melissa πΎπ #pawsforpurplehearts #training #pphalaska #nonprofit #aklife
Thank you so much to local AK business, Monster Car Wash, for donating a bunch of free pet wash coupons for us to take our #servicedogsintraining so that they always look their best! Our pups get groomed once a week and having a place like this to take them is a fantastic experience for them and it makes the grooming process easier for our trainers! #pphluana isn't a huge fan of getting a bath, but she was still a very good girl! πΎπ #pawsforpurplehearts #nonprofit #donation #pphalaska
Tomorrow is our Monthly Volunteer Meeting and our Program Instructors have such a fun activity planned! They're teaching everyone how to make snuffle mats for our #servicedogsintraining. #pphmargaret is eating part of her lunch with a snuffle mat in this video and it's a great way for them to stimulate their brains and learn how to problem solve. We hope you can join us at our facility at 7049 Arctic Blvd from 9am-11am! πΎπ

Thank you so much to Drool Central: A Mum & Pup Barkery for hosting the Puppy Love Fundraiser on Saturday and to everyone who came out and supported us! We raised $160 from this event, and #pphmargaret met a lot of new friends πΎπ

Nothing beats a Costco field trip on a snowy Thursday! These outings are so important for our #servicedogsintraining to help them get used to all the different activities they will be experiencing once placed with a #warrior. #pphmargaret and #pphelaine were very good sports as we explored the entire store with all its sounds and smells πΎπ

Throwback to last week when we took our #servicedogsintraining to @jber_official for some socialization time with @jberboss. These dogs work so hard at their training everyday and sometimes they just need to relax and enjoy a good belly rub! πΎπ #pawsforpurplehearts #warriorshelpingwarriors #nonprofit #pphopaulII #pphkreitzberg #pphluana #pphmargaret
