WE FOUND BINGO!!!!!! This was a win for us today and everyone involved. I want to give a shout out to Co-Owner Hammie Tuttle and her dog Karma for not giving up they really took control of the first part of the Search and showed what a well rounded team they have become. It's not easy tracking with a Malinois but you both make it look intense and on point. KEVIA DEMON my newest baby. Just turned 2 and just amazing me in how well she held it together. She stayed focused, ignored wildlife, dogs, cats, people wanting to distract her and construction. To Ashlie Baley you were determined to bring him home no matter how cold, dark or crazy we are when on a trail. Great job. Steve and Kelli Simpson thank you for being out there and not giving up. Your love for Bingo really brought him home. SPCA East Texas All of the staff, volunteers and family thank you for trusting us with finding Bingo.

Training Tip of the Day. What do you do when your Service Dog retires and still wants to work something else. Let them. Sonn is loving being my puppy raiser. He goes with me to the SPCA East Texas and loves to socialize all the puppies. He helps with my training clients pups as well.

CONGRATULATIONS TO Tammy Copas Jolly and Winston. They have been training for 2 1/2 years. We started training when Winston was 4 months old to become a Cardiac Alert Service Dog. He has completed all of his class obedience, task training and public access. There may have been some tough times, but these 2 really hung in there and made it happen. SOOOO PROUD.

Alot of Public Access Training going on with our Veterans and their Service Dogs in Training. Xolo (mexican hairless) was helping dad out with blocking and doing an amazing job. Fenris (blue bay shepherd) needed some fine tuning on excitable situations. Both did amazing. Petey is building his confidence in stairs and rocks his alerts for mom.

We would like to announce our partnership with SPCA East Texas and CampV in bringing The Pets for Vets Program to so many more Veterans in need. Thank you to all that helped make this happen.

Many brave troops return home with scars – both seen and unseen – that make it difficult to transition back to civilian life. At the same time, millions of wonderful animals are waiting for a forever home. It’s a match waiting to be made and we’re ready to help!
When a Veteran is matched with the right pet, both lives change for the better. The Veteran saves the animal and welcomes him/her into a loving home. The pet provides the Veteran with unconditional love and support, easing stress, depression, loneliness, and anxiety. Together, they share a bond that provides them both with a whole new “leash” on life.
If you are interested in bringing a pet into your home, please reach out to our team at [email protected]. For more information click here https://spcaeasttx.com/pets-4-vets/

Training lesson of the day. When sending your dog make sure you have a solid send/out and a solid recall. Especially while the dog is off leash. Sorry for the voice lag
