Teaching the dogs to tolerate a hair dryer today. Why is this important? If your dogs ever needs to go to the groomers, they may not be so terrified of the blower because they were exposed to the hair dryer. Also, for service dogs, they will come across the hand dryers in bathrooms, so this may help them when they do. And, for any dog, teaching them to tolerate something kinda loud and scary will help build their confidence.

A little giggle for your Thursday.
This dog still amazes me. She was literally hours from euthanasia and a rescue pulled her and I was fortunate to train her…twice. She has worked for two wonderful young ladies. What a gift she is and it is heartwarming that her mama appreciates her so. Way to go Kenzie! #servicedogtrainer #servicedog #rescuedog #dog #workingdog
Great news!! Jasper is pending adoption and will be moving to California to be a mobility service dog.
Way to go dude😎

I’ll be the first to not put human emotions into dog behavior. But this happened tonight and it was like they knew this was their last time together. Brought a tear to my eye. Penny is leaving in the morning to start her work as a PTSD service dog in another state. I guess the dogs and the humans will miss her. #servicedog #dogsofinstagram #dogs #workingdogs #servicedogsintrainingofinstagram #goldendoodle #goodbye
Finn has completed his training and is beginning his transition to his person. Here is a video of some of the things he learned to help her. #servicedog #happytopdoodles #workingdogs #aussiedoodle #servicedogintraining #dogsofinstagram

This is only session 2 on working “nudge” and Luka is already starting to figure it out. Nudge will be the alert for a low blood sugar detection. #servicedogintraining #servicedog #workingdog #australianlabradoodle #deercreeklabradoodles
Tried out my new 4 dog leash and loved it! The dogs were allowed to free walk with only rules of no pulling or no walking on grass. We all had a great time. #servicedog #servicedogintraining #dogs #doodlesofinstagram
