“Your dog is not a robot.” -Kellie 🙃

If you’ve heard Kellie say this (a Kellie classic), you know that she is very passionate about this. We do not train for robotic obedience, including service dogs! If you’re looking for robotic obedience, we are not the trainer for you. We would love to talk to you more about why we have chosen to train The FFDT Way.

Hear from Kellie:

“Even the most highly trained service dogs should not be trained into robotic obedience. Dogs are living beings that have the ability to think, feel, and choose for themselves. We want the dog to choose to serve and obey because they have been taught correctly and want to do what’s right. To train robotic obedience in your dog breaks the spirit of the animal. Combining canine behavioral science and techniques with canine psychology and emotion is key.”

(Excerpt from FFDT’s upcoming book “The FFDT Way”)

Are we the luckiest or what?? Check out all these adorable puppies we got to work with this weekend! 😍😍😍

03/01/2025

Last weekend we had a puppy "oreo floofers situation" with two black doodles and a fluffy white golden retriever. ☺️
They did a wonderful job and were three very different ages (4.5 months - 16 months - 2.5 years )!
It was so fun!
And of course we had to try the "viral wrapping paper trend" and it was an epic fail'!! Haha! Pups had a blast though!
Thanks for playing and training with us, Miki, Basil, and Nirvana!

We had a lovely time at our small group this morning at FFDT HQ!

The pups worked on basics, body awareness, off, distractions, individual skills and other pup and human interactions! These three pups did amazing and earned themselves a " Christmas present" and fun free play!

Way to go Judy (mini sheepadoodle), Coco (cockapoo), and Mabel (standard poodle)! Merry Christmas!

As of 12/18/24 at 2pm CST, we have not had any additional branches taken, but take a look at what you have accomplished! ❤️ If you're looking to give this year, I know these families would be more than blessed by you. We appreciate you all!
-FFDT

Here is the original post text:

"Though we strive to make service dog training as accessible and affordable as possible, we have a couple new families who are very much in need of our service dog program, and have been saving up to be able to afford training.

It has been on our hearts to reach out to the community with a "Giving Tree" for these two families. We have already made the decision to give extra ourselves as a family and a business, but we know your kindness and holiday hearts are much needed in their lives.

Family One: Seizure Disorder Assistance Service Dog
Family Two: Psychiatric and Autism Service Dog

If you feel it in your hearts to give this season, consider a branch from our Tree. Thank you for your generous hearts.

Venmo with GIVING TREE and the branch you selected or text us at 515-357-3790

We will update this image as branches are taken.
All our love,
FFDT

Disclaimer: At the moment FFDT is in process of forming a non-profit branch, but we are currently a registered LLC as a for-profit business. If you would like proof of how these giving tree funds will be used, please don't hesitate to reach out and we would be happy to provide the appropriate documentation.
