Would anyone in RC be interested in a SERVICE dog prospect? She’s 10 month old bully mix. This is Remi her foster mom (my good friend and fellow veteran) is a dog trainer and has been training her for months. There will be a negotiable adoption fee(nothing crazy) She is at risk of going to the shelter but that means all her training will be put to waste. She’d make a great service dog!! This is an amazing opportunity for someone who needs a dog already trained in basics and just needs task training. Her training for months was worth $100s!!!
Some of the commands she knows;

Sit
Stay
Lay
Wait
Touch
Release position
Recall
Walk with u
Kennel up
Settle down
Leave it
Fully e collar trained and off
TikTok videos posted of the pup is on tinymontano123 🙂

It’s been a while since posting but I’d like to announce that I have relocated and I am no longer in Ridgecrest CA.

If you are in RC I will still available for virtual or helping thru Facebook chat for your needs.
Unfortunately family emergency made me have to relocate unexpectedly.

Thank you so much for your support RC! 🩷🙏

Remus is looking for his forever home.
I am currently boarding him while his foster parents are out of town! What I’ve seen so far is he does great with new dogs, has great confidence and a very mellow temperment.
He would be an amazing addition to any family and will come with some free training if any concerns arise. I am so shocked he hasn’t found a home already! Contact my account if you’re interested and I’ll give you the foster parents contact info!

(I’ve changed puppy’s name)
MACARONI or MAC for short will be my service dog prospect. I will raise and train him up until 6-8months when he will be available for adoption to someone local here in Ridgecrest CA either to a veteran or someone suffering from MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES/PTSD who will then continue his training with me for free.
Follow along on his journey to becoming a SD prospect lots of training videos coming soon once he gets old enough❤️🙏

Being a dog trainer and foster you quiet literally can’t save them all and it sucks so bad when you’ve put so much effort and love into a dog but their prior circumstances have forever altered their brains to where no training is a fix just a Bandaid 🥲😕

UPDATE ON OREO!!!
I have found the perfect family for Oreo❤️
He is not ready to be released to them yet until he’s trained more. They have met him and he’s opened up so much he will NOT be put down he will be safe loved and cared for. 🙌🎉

He is SO loyal to my 2 toddlers, he hears a cry he’s rushing to their side. They make a move, so does he. It makes me want to keep him because of how loyal and attentive he is to them always watching them.
Though I wish I could keep all the dogs I foster/train, I truly believe there’s a perfect home for him somewhere.
He is not familiar at all with things like a taking him on a walk, cars passing, people passing, even just sounds like a car door closing or front door opening, the vacuum, a broom sweeping around. He’s spooked so easily. He has SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND IM GOING TO BRING IT OUT OF HIM!

More business cards coming in 🙌

So with life getting kind of crazy the last time I took my final exam for my dog training certification was 1/26, but tonight I just submitted the one exam that I have been pushing off to finally get my certification! Yay! 🎉 Its been a long 8 months of studying but I can finally see the finish line!! 🤩

This video was 20 mins after he bit me.
Unfortunately Oreo is in some serious need of rehabilitation. He only sees my toddlers as a part of the pack and wants 0 to do with adults. This behavior is similar to litter mate syndrome which requires very serious behavior modification and training.
