I was not going to share this. Because I am emotional about it. Bruno on 20240725 turned 9. I personally want him to stop aging. German Shepherd (GSD) have shorter life spans compared to other breeds.
Bruno has been a warrior on my left side for 9 years. He served with me proudly. He reenlisted in the army with me. Bruno lead the charge as we started Paws Down Best Dog Training (PDBDT). People don’t love PDBDT because of me. They love Bruno. Bruno is our cornerstone. Bruno has helped me recover from a right shoulder surgery. A severe neck surgery. Also intense physical therapy. Also some of my darkest chapters. He didn’t allow me to commit suicide.
Bruno has also brought me the brightest chapters. Attracted @autumn__tree into our lives starting beautiful chapters in this world. But he has brightened up so many others lives. Visiting grade schools, high schools, colleges, Military bases, and more. Putting smiles on so many faces. When I see him. I think I want to reflect his boldness, happiness, and drive for others.
Bruno has the ability of just being shock and awe. I love competing with Bruno. His determination and intelligence leaves me speechless. Nothing is more stunning than to see him work.
I would die for you Bruno! Happy birthday 🎊🎈🎉
Thank you Bruno for always being my battle buddy.
This is our best work yet with a dog that was going to be euthanized. If you wonder is a dog worth saving? Can it really make a difference to the community and families? The answer unequivocally yes! Absolutely a dog saved can bring consistency of love, and joy.
Felix was going to die at animal services. He was reactive to dogs. He didn’t have manners. His stay was coming to a halt. After three weeks of our training. We now have him visiting the elderly. Putting a smile on there face. Allowing them to have something to look forward to every Tuesday. Breaking the up the normalcy of their day. It’s a huge win for the elderly homes and families that have their loved ones placed there.
Paws Down Best Dog Training always places their best paw forward. Wanting the greatest outcomes for owner and dogs. Thank you Rescue Runners 915 and all rescues that select us.
Thank you El Paso for selecting us on our journey with your pack.
Felix up for adoption! Hitting a home run in training! Is ready to be the perfect family addition.
Don’t you ever give up. Felix is here to demonstrate this.
He won’t give up finding someone to adopt his sweet, motivated soul. I won’t ether! If interested please reach out to Rescue Runners 915.
Love these two
Bettering our obedience with consistency and passion!
Merry Christmas and happy new years! From Paws Down Best Dog Training!
Great dogs start with great owners
Thank you for this moment of training. Training dogs are always magical. Working with the owner and dog. Is always remarkable.
Uno came to us to be rehabilitated. Rehabilitated from his habit of being dog reactive. He also needed help with obedience. Uno was adopted with some issues. But issues we could help him with. Why can we help dogs like Uno? Because we are not dog handlers. We operate from the view of being K9 Therapists. We operate of a mind setting of oneness, passion, love, and forgiveness. Building trust between the dog and us!
Practice makes permanent
I have a huge passion to keep up the training the dogs have learned. By practicing we develop excellent dog handlers. A relationship further built on by the dog and owners!
Lucy is going to make an impact
Manic depression sometimes needs the medicine of what only a dog can provide. When we mentally breakdown. We have no idea where we are. Same for onset panic attacks. Bad mental breakdowns, caused by triggers.
However a dog like Lucy who is only 4 weeks into training her service dog training program. Will help ground you. Will help bring you back to your surroundings. Allowing you to ask for help. Or have the strength to pull it all back together again.
Can we give this 8 month old golden a hand?
When we train a dog. We are not training them for the perfect healthy person. But we are developing and molding them, to fit the handler. It’s essential this young GSD is gentle for her handler.
When depending on your dog to assist in navigating you, through chaotic, environments. While keeping you together. I am asked is the bigger dog the way to go? Can small dogs handle this job? The answer is yes. Smaller dogs can provide the necessary support. Often the larger dogs are selected. At least in our area. But there are many people who do not want, the day to day life with a 60 to 90lbs plus dog. Smaller miniature doodles are an excellent choice. They can easily be trained to pickup migraines, headaches, spiked blood pressure and so on. They are confident, hardworking, and bold. Smaller dogs play just as pivotal roles as big dogs. But yes I’m always going to say get a German Shedder hahahaha.

Darci Stone Escandon
I would like to thank her personally for attending our area as well. She is on a mission to creat Canine Good Citizens (CGC) testing class. The CGC is something that all service dogs and emotional support dogs should be able to complete. Her program she will be able to provide a fundamental base for the growth. Needed as a service dog and service animal. She will hold the
test to the American kennel club standards. Nothing additionally added just because. Purely to the standard. Her program is in the very beginning phase. We are excited to see her out this together. She will be the person to contact for such a service when she is open for it.
We focus on making well polished teams. So the training not only last forever. But only continues to grow. Providing more than training. But tools that you can rely on forever.
We love using our method of dog training. No toys, clickers, or treats. Our 5 Love Language training method.

Pro Tip
Why do more than obedience training? Should we include dog competitions in the relationship you have with your dog? Is competitiveness good for you and your dog?
1. Do as much as you can with your dog. Competitions are excellent in enhancing your dog’s chemistry with you. You both become a more trusting, and understanding unit. So do more than just obedience. Also at all ages with your dog.
2. You should include dog competition in your dogs life. It gives them more purpose. It develops and expands their ability to learn and continue to. This adds more to there life span overall. The quality of understanding your dog and your dog understanding grows immensely. Dog walking and dog parks can only do so much.
3. Competition is a dog’s natural instinct. From the moment they are born. They have a competitive drive to earn there mom’s respect. Also to eat as much as possible. We as humans are competitive. No matter how you categorize us we are competitive. It’s good to acknowledge touch and mold our competitive side. To do this with our dog, adds to our base of growth for ourselves and our dog. Also enhancing our ability to how your dog and you communicate.
In swimming pools a life vest is a great investment. As any other natural place your dog can swim.
With porch pirates, people ringing doors bells at 0300, increase of homes being broken into. More shootings and just violence increasing. This could be the best option to protect your loved ones and home. This could be not just the best option, but the safest option. This can be your best prevention to porch pirates and breakins, and more. We would be delighted to assist your family with a safe but fierce option to keep you safe.

Something every puppy and young dog should train on. Different surfaces, elevators, escalators, and sewer drains. So when you come across them. Your dogs can proudly handle the change. Verse’s becoming nervous and scared.
