We are so excited to see BLD harnesses in this fun story about Colorado service dogs. Not one, but two! Our own Katrina and Dalton, as well as one of our local clients, Ginny and Ember, are featured. What a nice tribute for Service Dog Awareness month.

September is Service Dog Awareness Month. It is a time to learn about service dogs and to show appreciation for their skills and talents.

Something new is afoot.

Id: Katrina's prototype bench in the BLD workshop covered with black leather, hand tools, and a stack of harness samples. Some leather straps are stamped SERVICE DOG in silver.

Bill witnessed a terrible crime. Friends, keep those stuffies safe. Don't let this happen to you!

Id: two life-sized plush dogs were tossed around by a visiting dog. There is tape on the ground outlining the "deceased" toys, like a chalk outline at a murder scene. There is also a mallet and number signs to look like evidence markers.
NO TOYS OR REAL DOGS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS STORY

Huge shout out to our new friends at Bold Lead Designs who have gone above and beyond listening to our concerns and needs for more practical equipment for both Reese and Scooby. We received our quick-release wheel chair attachment and couldn’t be more happy with the product. We are also starting the process of having a custom harness built for Scooby and Reese’s, by them. Significant improvements that’s will benefit the dynamic duo.

UPDATE!!!
The Mobility Dog Resources website is now available!
The site pages help explain the guidelines and provide lots of detailed information and links to citations and other related resources.
We continue to edit and add to the website; it is an evolving resource. I'm still writing a few pages, including heath and fitness, and guidance for selecting and pairing mobility assistance dogs. These pages will be added as soon as the info is ready. If you notice any errors, please feel free to let us know so we can improve the site.
Take a look, and pass it along!

CALL FOR PHOTOS!!!
Hey service dog friends! I've been working on a collaborative special project with the goal of setting a minimum standard for Mobility Dogs that provide balance and stability support.
We need some photos for the website of resources that we're building. Please share if you have any pics of mobility dogs, dogs in harness, puppies in training, etc. that you grant permission for us to use.
If anyone would like to see our guidelines, which have had input from some of the top veterinarians in the working dog world, message me. -- Katrina Boldry
EDIT: P.S. this is not a Bold Lead's project, but a new organization called Mobility Dog Resource Group. Katrina is a founding member and has done a majority of the research.

Do you have a dog that pulls on the leash? We might have the solution you've been looking for! Check out this real customer review:
"THIS PERFECT PACE HARNESS AND LEASH WAS AMAZING !!!! LITERALLY GAVE ME A MIRACLE. i have two ~70 lb husky mixes who were near impossible to walk, especially at the same time, because they pulled so hard. i tried several things: prong collar, front clip harness, and also professional walking training. nothing would get them to stop pulling and lunging at squirrels they saw on the walk. the pulling was only amplified when i walked them together. however, i got the perfect pace leash/harness today for both of them. putting it on was extremely easy when following the video tutorial. they pawed at their snouts for the first 5-10 minutes trying to get it off, but after continuous walking + treat reinforcement they stopped pawing and went with the flow. the pulling was reduced by 90% in a matter of minutes. this leash achieved what months of walking training couldn’t fix. i could walk them at the same time and hold their leashes with one hand. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!! COULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT ENOUGH "

We love finding our gear out "in the wild!" This is a wonderful description of the many factors that go into partnering a service dog. Veterinary health clearances are so important to be sure the og is physiological suited to working in harness.
Katrina as worked very hard to educate clients and trainers about mobility service dogs.

So many people ask about my harness. It was made specifically for my mum from Bold Lead Designs.
Mobility needs are different for each person. The feedback of hand through harness, to dog, is very important to think about. The harness needs to be ergonomically correct…which means measurements of wrists, fingers, arms hips and legs needs to be considered, (as well as a humans gait and size).
A dogs personality needs to be considered; a dog who likes to lead would be great for a seeing impaired person but not for a mobility impaired person. I’d fall down if Wally walked out in front of me, he always gives me support on my right (weaker) side.
My mum is short and overweight so she needed a SD to be bigger than most. A dog made for harness work needs to be examined extensively to make sure it is safe for the dog. Hips, backs and legs are xray’ed and then approved by a veterinarian to start training in one. Then, a mobility impaired veteran is “interviewed” with a harnessed dog to see if it is a good fit.
This process through my organization Warrior Canine Connection happens for over a year, and the decision to match veteran to dog, and what harness to use, is based on experts in dog training, veterinarians and harness experts.
Then the veteran also goes through training on how to best use a harnessed service dog as another mobility tool.
Further, after a SD matched placement, we are evaluated every 6 months by our veterinarian.
Pictured here is Wally in his harness with the handle turned down. At a doctors office or at a restaurant he needs to be tucked under chairs or a table and put away into a small space until he is needed. Most times mum turns down my handle or even takes off the harness to tuck me into a small space. When my handle gets caught under a table, I lose confidence and become shy with commands. We try to avoid that 🐾🐕‍🦺🇺🇸❤️
Edit! For our pet dogs sometimes we snap a leash with a wrist movement to get the attention for a distracted job (or humans pull back on a leash to bring the dog closer). Since the hand connection between Wally and mum on the harness is so very important, for a correction and a distraction of a bad behavior, mum pokes me on my shoulder away from the harness. A pull on the harness usually means I need to act like a rock to prevent a fall. I am not supposed to move.
