Today we were able to repeat the experience we had last year with Windsor EMS!

This was an excellent opportunity for our teams to practice loading into an ambulance without the stress and pressure of a real life medical emergency. Everyone practiced jumping onto the stretcher, letting the EMTs secure them and the hydraulic lift and bumps of being pushed into the ambulance. After being loaded they simulated vitals checks and early medical intervention. At the end, we all got to listen to the siren as it drove around the block, then had questions answered about the best ways to communicate with emergency personell about our disabilities and service dogs.

Fantastic experience all around!

Forever grateful to the team at Bradley International Airport for their hospitality in allowing our teams to rehearse the TSA travel experience today!

And I am so incredibly proud of all these handlers and dogs. The dogs blew me away with their professionalism, happiness and general cool-headedness, and the handlers made all the correct training choices to promote their good behavior.

I wasn't able to record any of the equipment but we went through the line and process 3 times total. The airport staff were instructed to treat us like any other passenger -- shoes came off, treat bags went through the scanners, dogs had to remove all of their gear and wait to be called through the metal detector by their handler.

The general pressure, uncertainty and stress around the TSA experience was definitely present. But without the additional pressure of actually traveling, this gave everyone a chance to get really familiar with the entire process. Repeating it three times helped them get truly comfortable with the activity. This will make future travel easier and take a lot of the anxiety away!

Overall just a fantastic start to camp!

JPSD's first annual summer camp just had a last-minute spot open up! August 21st-25th in Windsor, CT.

We have a packed schedule of lectures, workshops and outings (including TSA, EMS and summer concert training) as well as fun "summer camp" activities. We have a great group and so the social support of working closely with other teams is going to be an invaluable aspect of the camp as well.

Advanced teams only, must be 1000% safe around other dogs and people. If I haven't worked with you closely I will need to perform an evaluation!

The wheels were not the only thing to go round and round on the bus last Friday -- the dogs did too!

Thanks to our friends at , Joyful Paws teams got to spend their afternoon training with two city busses and two drivers. Dogs and handlers got to try the wheelchair lift with our trainer Kasey's expert guidance, learn that bus hydraulics are safe and normal, and even go for a ride!

The video shows a relaxed and easygoing Elena modeling for the youngsters how it's done as she sits with her handler on the moving bus, with a cameo by Wanda practicing her "under" behind a volunteer's legs, and baby Abigail thoroughly enjoying herself held safely in arms. More videos on comments!

Thanks to the partnership with CT Transit and their generosity in scheduling two busses and two drivers to spend the evening with us, the dogs were able to take their time and become comfortable with this new experience for many, including some younger or less experienced pups who may not have been ready to use public transportation and board a public bus like little Abigail. All of our teams did a great job!

Sylvie got all dressed up to celebrate with her puppy raiser yesterday! She's reportedly feeling festive, wiggly, and happy (as usual for this golden ball of sunshine).

Sylvie is 6 months old and currently the youngest of the group, despite having outgrown "big sis" Wanda already!

Wanda got some well-deserved sleep on the job at the space exhibit after a long day exploring the Connecticut Science Center last Sunday! She got to practice tucking under unobtrusively while her handler read up on power cells, staying calm and focused in the sports area, and an incredible range of sounds, sights, and smells that put her extensive foundational skills to the test.

Wanda is now 9 months old and will be placed in December.

Making good use of our yard and the beautiful weather today for group distraction class!

"When you're lost in the darkness, look for the light"

Yesterday my "Ellie" (registered name "Look For The Light") met "Joel" (). It made for a great end to the first day of the New York Comic Con! We'll be back again today and looking forward to sharing more of Ellie's experience there.

It is incredible how well she is handling all this chaos.

Henry has been practicing his medication retrieve, and today added distance, elevation and the "medication" cue!

Evelyn will be available as a started service dog when she turns 8 months old in September! She will likely be best suited as a psychiatric or autism assistance dog. Link to more info in comments!

Babies can learn the foundations to becoming service dogs when they're all grown up!

I can tell you ALL about it! #servicedog #tasktrained #corn
