Ever wonder why trainers keep drilling basic skills? It’s because more complex behaviors are comprised of a bunch of those basic skills! The better you train that foundation, the better your advanced training will go.

Video description: A man walks a Service Dog in Training down the aisle of a hardware store during a training outing. Other handlers line both sides of the aisle. Although the action seems effortless, text pops up on screen informing the viewer that the basic skills of turning with the handler, loose leash walking, checking in with the handler, and ignoring distractions are being used. At the end of the video confetti flies across the screen, in celebration of the dog being a good boy.

Just because Leevi isn't a Service Dog doesn't mean he can't help, okaaaay.
Bonus points to Carly for trying to task. ❤️

Video description: POV: you're a Service Dog Trainer, training a medical alert. The trainer fakes falling on the floor so the golden retriever she's training will perform it's task. However, a Pyrenean Mastiff weighing 135 lbs pushes the golden out of the way to lay on top of her instead
While playing pass the puppy, trainer Amanda was working with Burrito on some of his commands he knows and making it fun! His handler is the one recording the video ❤️ we all enjoy seeing our dogs love their job 😍🥰 #scoutslegacyservicedogs #scoutslegacy #slsdburrito #doodle #servicedogintraining #dogtraining
Service Dogs often encounter edible and non edible temptations as they go about their job. Learning how to ignore these temptations is a very important part of the curriculum!

Video description: Three dogs are in a down stay on the floor of a store. Their trainer is throwing treats in front of them, which all three dogs are ignoring.
One of the hardest things our dogs work on is ignoring people so they can focus on their handler and not miss any alerts. We think Baylor has got this part down pat!

Video description: A brown lab in SD gear is laying down on the floor of a store. A person is running around him making noises, and jumping over him. Suddenly the video turns black and white and freezes, zooming in on the dog's bored expression. The text reads: When you're hard at work learning to ignore human shenanigans, and all of a sudden you're rethinking your career choices. Thank you for tuning in, this has been existential thoughts with Baylor.
Trying to tape a training session when your dog is NOT camera shy! 🤣

Team Leo is making this whole "heel" thing look easy! (lots of training went into this though)

Ignoring distractions and paying attention to the handler is a fundamental Service Dog skill. Here, Krypto is showing off his bestest stare. ❤️

At home manners are important for pet dogs and Service Dogs alike. By making sure our dogs do not dash out the door and jump on people we keep both them and our clients safe. ❤️

So I guess we can safely assume SDiT Mabel likes her job 😂.

SDiT Gideon makes door manners look easy, but in reality it takes lots of training! Way to go, Team Gideon!

Find the car is a task that really comes in clutch sometimes! Watch Service Dog in Training Leo learn the beginnings of this very helpful cue. ❤️

We owe a BIG debt of gratitude to the folks from The Jordon Lenamon Foundation for sponsoring no less than 15 dogs over the last two years. We don't know if we will ever be able to express what a huge difference they have made for our clients, but we tried to explain it through this video. ❤️❤️
Johnna Lenamon and Martin Lenamon, thank you soooo much for all that you do!!!

Service Dog in Training Chevy is demonstrating his backing up skills. This is an important skill to have if you want to move effortlessly with your handler if they suddenly change directions.

Video description: a lab in SD gear is walking alongside his handler in the aisle of a store. The handler changes directions and starts walking backwards, and the dog backs up with them.
Practice makes perfect! Just look at how far Team Nico has come in just a few months! In the first video he is practicing walking in a heel position just a few steps at a time with our lead trainer (and CEO, ahem) Amanda, and in the second video he is with his handler.

Video description: in the first video a young Golden Retriever is practicing walking in a heel position just a few steps at a time on a side walk in front of a house with a trainer. In the second video the same dog (now in a Service Dog vest) is walking next to his handler in a wheelchair through a store on a loose leash.
The first time taking your Service Dog in Training on any form of public transportation is always a scary step, but Team Mabel makes it look like no big deal!

Video description: a golden retriever in SD gear is laying at her handler's feet in between the seats on a moving train. The handler is giving the dog treats for being calm and paying attention to them.
We love seeing our handlers build good habits with our young pups through fun training sessions. Bonus points for "splat" and of course double cute puppy points! ❤️

Video description: A young golden puppy is training with their handler. Upon being given the command "splat", the puppy lays down immediately. The handler gives a treat, and a moment later tosses a treat on the floor for the puppy to find.
Loud vehicle noises can be very scary to many dogs. Since our Service Dogs need to be able to work and task in circumstances that may be stressful to other dogs, we put a lot time into making sure they are comfortable in many different situations. In this video, Team Helo show how confident and comfortable they are walking around a fire truck. Go Team Helo! ❤️
