Captain Rip is ready to meet his VETERAN! Rip is an exceptional service K9. He is a team player who is always looking to please whoever is standing beside him.

To highlight Rip's stable personality over the summer Sullivan School District mourned the loss of one of their own. Avery asked if she could take Rip to comfort the staff. Without a worry I dropped Avery and Rip off at the school with the instructions "call me when your finished". Rip is great with big crowds, kids, other dogs, and I have never seen an environment that bothers him. Rip also have a valuable trick, he has been trained to article search for lost items!

Rip is provided by Gary and Rosie Shuck with Soldiers and Dogs. Soldiers and Dogs is a nonprofit located in Assumption, Illinois. They offer our Veterans service K9's at no cost!!

NOW I NEED YOUR HELP! IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS A VETERAN NEEDING A BUDDY PLEASE REACH OUT TO Soldiers and Dogs

PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE SO WE CAN MAKE A VETERANS LIFE BETTER!

The yearly back to school bug slowed the dog trainer down for a couple of days. Yesterday she took advantage of a few minutes while waiting for the school bus.

Today Avery introduced Raven to casting from one placemat to another. With practice Avery will be able remain stationary and direct Raven to whichever placemat she chooses.

Avery and Raven are learning to work together! Several short sessions each day will turn into hundreds of repetitions by the time Raven is ready to begin formal obedience.

09/08/2024

Today Avery is demonstrating how she likes to teach Raven behaviors that will be later associated with commands. Once Raven fully understands the mechanics of each behavior, in this case "sit" Avery will start to command "sit" as Raven is doing said behavior. This allows a smooth transition to the commands and prevents Avery from giving repeated commands for the desired behavior. Raven will learn to perform each command the first time in order to receive the reward. This keeps if fun for both dog and handler.

Follow the fun as Avery and Raven progress thru training together. This project is 100 percent Averys idea! She researched litters, contacted Tim Doane with Kingseed Kennels to ask a list of questions, completed the puppy contract, and mailed her deposit. We look forward to watching them progress together.

Sukah and her owner Dan Munds learning to track blood together. The track was laid on asphalt so Dan can learn sukahs pace along with leash control. They are going to be one heck of a team this fall!

Today I got to introduce Yeller to his veterans family and do a little training at Rural King. Yeller is from the Raksha x Stoeger breeding.

Soldiers and Dogs has several other pictures on their page but this picture really made me stop and think. What I see is two men who sacrificed so much for our country, two dogs that sacrifice their emotions and normal dog life to help their veterans go about a normal life at home.

What you don't see in this picture is the families of these men and the sacrifices they made for us also. Yeller and Lt also bring a settling to the families.

Sacrifice doesn't stop there for Gary Shuck and his family. Gary and his family do a great job getting dogs into the arms of soldiers. They have been guest speakers in over 80 events and dedicate so much time to this great organization.

Yeller and his brother "Captain Rip" have been trained to search for lost articles and their handlers have offered this service to the public.

We are blessed to be a part of this and will update with more pictures in the near future.

Often while speaking to clients about obedience I hear statements like "I don't need a hunting dog" or "I don't need my dog to sit on a whistle at 300 yards. Every hunting dog, service dog, police k9, blood tracking dog, or pet we train all go thru the same initial obedience! If you can't get your dog to sit or come to you on a 6ft lead how would you ever expect them to sit at a distance, during distractions, or in strange environments? The video below is of a K9 that we initially trained in obedience last July. The dog has worked the street and like all good K9's love someone in a bite suit! I have not handled or did an obedience routine with this dog since last August. You can see him dragging the same 6ft lead that he and dozens of other dogs have been trained with. I can't think of many situations that would be more tempting for a dog to be disobeint. I am usually the "bad guy" and the dogs handler is in control. This dog would MUCH RATHER make me his squeaker toy and chew me up but instead he is performing numerous obedience commands, then being allowed to do what he prefers (biting) me only to again go back to being under control. Whether the obedience command is sit, here, bark, bite, release, roll over, lay down, fetch, etc. it all takes teaching the dog the desired command, repeating the command until it is automatic, then proofing thru distractions all in a controlled environment on that "boring 6ft lead" that every dog starts on.

Hard to believe it's been almost 10 years! #differentkindofretriever
