Baby’s first bark! 🥰
Is there anything cuter?
Retter is learning to bark to access his toy. He learns this through a small amount of frustration. Pretty soon this will translate to barking when he finds a “trapped” person, simulating his response should he ever find someone on a real disaster search.
People always ask us how old puppies need to be to start training- puppies as young as Retter begin learning the basics immediately! In fact, the younger they are when they arrive, the more smoothly training usually goes.
Puppies this age take a lot of resources to raise and train- please consider donating to help us save more puppies like Retter and raise them to become Tomorrow’s Heroes!

This #GivingTuesday we want to thank every single person who has helped us not only raise tomorrow's heroes but also sustain a community of giving. We are proud to work with and donate to other non-profit organizations to help the puppies of today become the heroes of tomorrow.
We know the value of a working dog is priceless, but the costs associated with procuring one can be astronomical. Our mission is to provide quality working dog candidates to handlers and organizations primarily for free.
To do that, we count on all of you and your support. Puppyhood is one of the most expensive times in our dogs' lives- they eat proportionally more food, they require more vaccinations and medical exams, and they go through a ton of toys! Since puppies are all we take in, we take on a lot of the financial burden of a working dog candidate. And we can't do it without you!
Thank you to all who have donated directly at www.kaisercanine.com
and who have sent us supplies and toys off of our
AmazonSmile
https://smile.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/2VS9PYF3VEY5W
and Chewy wishlists!
https://www.chewy.com/g/kaiser-k9-inc_b97864768
If you can't give directly, sharing our mission and this post can help tremendously!
It takes a village to RAISE TOMORROW'S HEROES. Thank you for being a part of ours.

#MotivationMonday with Candidate Nora! Nora is learning a new skill called article indication. This is a foundation skill for tracking. Wherever Nora’s road takes her, she will have the foundations to get there!
In this video, Nora is indicating on a small roofing tack with human odor on it. Nora is learning that indicating on an object with human odor gets her treats! As she progresses in her training, she will learn to only indicate on the objects that smell like the person she is tracking! In the end, she should learn to follow a trail of human odor and indicate on any of their items she finds along the way and, hopefully, the person at the end of the trail!
Nora is 9 months old and we will begin looking for a permanent job for her! If you’re looking for a dog like Nora, let us know! 📩
All of our candidates are available at NO-COST to Non-Profit Organizations, Federal/State/Local Goverment Agencies, and active handlers in good standing with non-profit organizations or agencies.

💪 Strong work from Mobi learning how to search for his toy in novel environments! Thank you to Tractor Supply Co. for being dog friendly and allowing our candidates to get the experiences necessary to become tomorrow’s heroes!
Learning to search for a toy like this is a foundational search element that will help Mobi generalize the search behavior and make it easier for him to transition to more specialized search work in his new career!

It’s a #WagWednesday with Mobi!
Mobi is working on the foundations for Direction and Control. Direction and Control is a trained skill used by search and rescue handlers to be able to be direct dogs through areas that the handler is unable to navigate themselves. The skill is evaluated during certification tests at distances the size of a baseball diamond!
As with all training, we start small and work our way up! Mobi is learning to move in multiple directions and to only move from platform to another when directed to move.
Way to go, Mobi!

#MotivationMonday with Candidates Mobi and Nora!
Motivation and drive are the names of the game here for our puppies! 🐶 We constantly strive to develop our retrieve, tug, and cooperative play drives so that our puppies grow into working dogs with STRONG motivations to play!
To them, it’s just a game. They don’t know that doing their favorite thing could one day save a life! 🛟

#WorkoutWednesday with Candidate Alder, who is showing off how he works out his nose!
A critical foundational element for our puppies is learning to identify the smell of a living person- ultimately, they will use this foundation to search for and alert to a living person trapped in a disaster.
When he smells a trapped person, he knows that when he barks, he gets his favorite thing- a game of tug!
