Check on your veterans

Uriah

Puppy training can be tough at times and if you don’t re-center yourself (calm down and focus), you will have an even harder time with training. This is Uriah and his handler Dotti working on some basic Sit,down and watch patterns. I’m so proud of these two. And a big thank you to my assistant puppy trainer, Lexi for helping. Keep up the great work you guys.

Trivia night

Big shout out to my Elks club, BPOE 800 Marion, IL, for hosting and advertising our Trivia Night Fundraiser. Come on down and play some trivia with us on April 13th. 100% of the money raised will go towards helping our local veterans with the training of their own service dogs. Come out and help us to help them.

Trooper

Trooper and his handler John is where it all started for Down the Leash Service Dogs. There’s no greater feeling than seeing the impact that these pups have on our veteran’s and their families lives. This is why I’m so passionate about helping my fellow veterans. It’s not about me but all about them. #iammybrotherskeeper #servicedogssaveslives #downtheleashservicedogs

Today’s training

Leave it

Having a good “Leave It” could save your dog’s life

Paper towel

Having your dog place anywhere they are told to. Even on a paper towel

Place training

“Place” training. The video is a little long but good information

Go for help

This is John, Melody and Jake working on the “go get help” task. John gives Jake the command and this pup springs into action and goes looking for help for his owner. As soon as Jake is able to find help he brings them back to his partner. Way to go little buddy. I’m so proud of this trio.
