Eve earned her first Dock diving title: DJ = Dock Junior.
We started Dock diving last summer. She didn’t know how to use the dock, so her first jump was 4’9”. Now we are learning how to play the game and getting better. Her best jump this weekend was 14’3”. We are having fun and making progress. It’s a great sport in this kind of weather!

Public Access with our service dogs in training. Great teamwork everyone!
Before we take our pups or dog out for Public Access training let's ask ourselves, does our dog have the appropriate temperament to be a service dog? What is that? Is our pup non-reactive to other dogs and people? What is non-reactive? Pups should not be barking, lunging, growling, or hiding behind us when they see other people, children, carts, or other dogs. Let's not do a disservice to the service dog world by taking dogs out with inappropriate behaviors.
Do you need a service dog to help you with a medical condition? We don't provide dogs, but can help you train your dog. Do you have a dog that you hope will become a service dog? We can help evaluate your dog to see if it has service dog potential. Contact us.

Part 1. Odor Detection training. Our service dog training class has started Nose work training.

Some dogs are working with low blood glucose swabs to help alert to a diabetic. Some dogs are working with swabs when individuals have migraines.

These videos are of Eve who I want her to find my scent. I would like to use this in the Obedience ring for scent articles, small dumbbells made of metal, leather or wood. The goal would be for her to select and retrieve the item that has my scent on it.

No matter the scent or odor, the training steps are the same.

This is a six part video series.

Congratulations to Shawn & C**t! The newest certified service dog team. You both put in lots of time, training, energy, and love to accomplish this! Way to Go! It takes a great team of trainers, fosters, rescues, and donations to develop a pup into a service dog. It also takes molding and shaping the right temperament, maturing and training for the dog to be non-reactive in public, have good manners, obedient and the tasks to help the individual. Thank you all who donated, contributed on this journey: Terri Young from Heart Strings Rescue who brought C**t to us, fosters - The Beam family, trainer Kami, Butch Wildhide for all your donations and for the Franklin County Veterans program Save-A-Vet, Save-A-Pet for investing in your Veterans.

Our Goal for working with a Rescue litter is to find potential future service dogs. We are working with Rescues that find pregnant females or litters that are surrendered. Our non-profit STAT (Service Therapy Alert Training) has the help of a few great fosters and some donations to make this possible.

Service Therapy Alert Training: Dogs with a job

Our goal at STAT is to train dogs with high level skills in order to full-fill their job, whether that is as a Service Dog, Therapy Dog, or Alert Dog. (We will use the term Assistant Dog referring to any of those jobs.) At STAT, we will help develop, train, and certify dogs that pass all 4 levels of our program.

These Levels are: Level T. Temperament; Level 1. Foundation and Home Skills; Level 2. Community and Public Access; Level 3. Service Tasks.

Level T is our Temperament qualification.The first criteria for a successful Assistant dog is its temperament. The appropriate temperament for an Assistant Dog is one that is alert, but non-reactive to its environment, people or other animals. With a structured environment, training, and maturing many dogs can achieve Level T.

The next 3 Levels of our program are related to training. Level 1. Foundation and Home Skills are developing good manners and basic obedience. Level 2. Community and Public Access is continuing to develop obedience skills outside the home environment. Building attention and focus under distractions. Level 3. Service Tasks is teaching the dogs to retrieve items for owners, open doors, turn on switches, or alert to physical or emotional needs.
