Troops First 24/7 Battle Buddies, Battle Ground 22 Foundation, Wisconsin Guardian Foundation along with representatives of Heroes for Heroes for the 10th Annual JCS Veteran Canine Games. We would like to take a moment and recognize the incredible support from: Delta Defense, LLC, Train N Style , Texas Roadhouse in West Bend, Lippert Flooring and Tile, Iron Ridge Inn Restaurant as well as all of our friends, supporters & family who purchased items from our Amazon List. This is our most important event of the year and takes a LOT of time, energy and money to run - so, from the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU for your generous donations.

Someone is teething so she is getting the afternoon off to chew on her frozen rag and enjoy this beautiful weather.

Worked on using verbal commands with Charlie this afternoon.

08/21/2024

Testing out where there are holes in her training and seeing where we need to go back and work on a little more. Working on some longer durations in sit and down without using a place board as a marker.

08/21/2024

Working on more distance with the place command and also adding distractions towards the end.

Intro to crate was done properly she loves her crate, hardly makes a fuss as long as she can’t see you but like any puppy they want all of your attention even when you can’t give it to them. Charlie’s owner works from home so she needs to get used to settling in the crate while life still goes on in the house work calls, getting up to make a sandwich or having guest over. Yesterday I started eating lunch with her in the crate me being in front of her which is the first half of the video, today she already is starting to settle in and figuring out that whining gets her no attention and being quiet and calm in the crate no matter what is what gets her all the good stuff!

First little outing to Lowe’s with Charlie, she did very good considering she has never seen anything like this place before.

Some meals are simple and boring but it is always some form of working for your meal.

Little girl impressed me tonight! I am throwing her kibble on the ground she gets payed for eye contact and staying on the place board, after the exercise of course she get her “jackpot” which is hoovering the rest of her meal that I was throwing.

Little Charlie went to the vet yesterday for a wellness check up and got a clean bill of health and was loved on by all the doctors and technicians! Yesterday was a lot of new things so she had the rest of the day off to relax, I don’t like putting too much pressure or stressors on a young puppy outside of what is necessary. We go back to our normal routine today working on more manners and obedience before she goes home in two weeks.

08/14/2024

Working on settling on the place board and slowly shaping stay. This is incredible tough for a young pup as they just want to go, go, go all the time.

Worked on focus tonight with Charlie which is the last thing a puppy wants to do. The end there you could tell she was starting to check out, offering as little help as possible she worked through the problem and finished strong. For a young pup patients is key and your expectations can only be so high, keep as much as possible a positive experience. Allow them to work their problems and help them when they get stuck, if they seem disinterested end the session on a good note and try again tomorrow.

08/11/2024

Little Charlie is really starting to put some puzzle pieces together, working a lot of physical and mental muscles tonight.
