Tonight was week three of basic obedience class at Niagara K9 Training Center. It was a very fast-paced class filled with a bunch of tasks. We worked on placing, turning in both directions, circles in both directions, walking slow, fast, and normal. Both pairs are learning quickly and are making great progress with each class. We would also like to point out that both veterans had immediate family members in class who participated in the training. It's important to have family involved in the training so that everyone at home is on board with what we are learning here.

Veterans Day 2025 was a busy day for us. We spent the afternoon and early evening posted up with an informational table at Hofbrauhaus Buffalo for their Veterans Day event. A very big thank you needs to go out to Bob and Peg Hamels for the invitation and the awesome food. Following this event, we went over to Niagara K9 Training Center for week two of basic obedience classes for Army Veterans Mike and Darren. Both veterans and dogs did great and are making very good progress together. We worked on placing, walking, and turning. Trust building is happening with both pairs, and we are excited to see what next week brings.
