The passing of a great little dog, K9 Faith.
Being a dog trainer we tend to get caught up in the fast pass of daily life and we over looking the very beginnings of some of these great animals πΎ and what they accomplished in their career with their human partner.
Around 2015 Dan Kissin reached out asking if there was anyway I could help look at the airports new drug dog. Basically it was a train wreck and the handler was given the dog with zero help. With funds very very limited ole Faith was it to make or break her into being drug dog.
Lots went into structuring the training and in the end it went great. It was truly a team effort by her, Rob and I.
K9 Faith crossed the rainbow bridge last Friday due to age and health issues.
