My 2 week board and train ! Oliver was here for anxiety response tasks and to retrieve items! He has also worked with Dog Training by Paige Fairfield to get him started at home and out in public !
This guy has been a blast to work with. Goldens are hard to pass up when choosing a service dog for yourself !

Oliver being taught "bring" and "give" . it seems like fetch would be fairly easy for any dog to learn but to teach them to pick up items when needed just starts with this !
Restrained Recall.
A wonderful exercise to practice when your dog needs that extra excitement to come when called ! Our own little terror , Juice Box LOVES this game !
Thank you Ridgeline K9 LLC for the amazing tips and ever present training !
I would highly recommend them if you are further north !
We all learn something new every day in any profession !

Roxie the English Mastiff
This is Roxie's introduction to retrieval. She is going to be a service dog for her handler. Some of her tasks will include bringing items to the handler, carrying bags for the handler, and holding items for short periods.
She had an absolute blast ! It's always a party when you learn something new !
Have a blessed Memorial day weekend everyone !

Kismet and Shadow
I absolutely love seeing dogs that are so ready to please their handler. Dogs want to make us proud. They certainly show it as best they can every day. Celebrate your dog's successes.
Training is a dog is not a linear up hill path. It has twists and turns and some days you will want to pull your hair out.
It's okay! Enjoy your dog. Enjoy your time together. Be here now.
