Can't believe this boy is 35.4 lbs already! Good grief.

Today was the longest and craziest day Oaken has ever worked - we went to a bustling library book sale, a thrift store that was soaked in novel and interesting scents, and out for ice cream at the end of the day. It was a long one for sure, but I'm so proud of him - he handled it all like a champ. I can't believe how good his engagement is, even in these pretty high-distraction environments!! This little dude is going to make someone an amazing service dog someday.

Here's a little pat of butter, to get you through Monday.

Resting after a long day, including getting his last round of vaccines 🎉 Boy oh boy did the techs love this wiggly little loverboy.

Oaken practicing tucking into small spaces. Every morning I feed him his breakfast underneath or inside of something where he has to work a little to get to it - the more used to tucking into small spaces he is now, the easier it will be to teach him to tuck under chairs, desks, and tables in the future. He should be a pretty large dog when he grows up, so this is an important skill to learn!

Hanging out with Oaken at a little outdoor restaurant. It's good and hot out, but that means it's not too busy- perfect for our first ever café experience! And bonus points for settling under a chair... Oaken is going to be a nice big dog, so it's important to get him used to small spaces BEFORE they really feel small to him, lol.

Little brothers. Can't live with em, can't live without em.

On a different note, I am SO happy with Oaken's settle. It's shockingly good for a 13 week old puppy. He is truly a fantastic little pup.

And here I thought the older dogs would be teaching the younger dogs to walk nicely on-lead, not the other way round.

Can you tell that Oaken's favorite thing to do is chasing toys around on the flirt pole? He actually fell asleep with his mouth on it, but he's shifted somewhat since and now he's just using it as a pillow.

Socializing puppies is much more than making friends of every shape and species - at its heart, it's about exposing them to all kinds of strange and exciting things, and practicing being nice and neutral around them. We want them to know that while the world is full of all kinds of fun and interesting things, for the most part, it's really not worth getting het up about. Sitting outside near the front of the grocery store is a great way to see all kinds of people come and go, make weird noises, push and carry weird things... and learn how boring and unscary all them are.

And if a few of them come to say hi once in a while, hurrah!

Introducing ARTEMIS! Artemis and I will be working together for 4 months to help her build the foundations for her life as a multipurpose/seizure prevention and response service dog. So happy to work with this beautiful lady.

As a side note, Artemis' future partner is fundraising to help make the one-time expenses associated with her training more affordable. Please see the GoFundMe by Leah Skidmore in the comments below!

Thank you so much to Katie Hipkin for donating all of these awesome supplies!! So many things to keep their teeth healthy, brains enriched, bodies cared for, and noses and minds work-work-working!! We can't wait to put them to good use starting tomorrow 😊

Hello! My name is Leah and I am making this fundraiser to help with the cost … Leah Peak needs your support for Help with cost of a life saving service animal

Some of you know that I've been trying to quickly learn to make training vests, to avoid the expense of buying them. Well, this one - the 4th or 5th I've made - was EASILY the best one yet. I'm so proud of how it came out. It should be just about the right size for Oaken when he comes along, and as you can see, it ties at the bottom so that it's adjustable as he grows. Best of all, it's reversible!! Now all I need is to add some "in training" patches and we're golden.

P.S. scroll for a babushka surprise 😮

On Monday I visited the goldador (golden/labrador retriever cross) puppy who will be entering my program in two weeks. This guy has a fantastic temperament - his environmental stability is unmatched! - and I am so excited to watch him grow up.
