On the road again! Packing for a month long “Training Tour” takes a lot of planning. Typically about two days three days before I’m going to travel I’ll start packing up all my training gear, all my food for the dogs, my first kits, and plug in my cooler. Cooler that I have can act as a refrigerator or freezer so it’s amazing when I am packing food for blaze and I want to keep it frozen. About a day before I’m leaving through my checklist make sure I’ve got everything I’ll start putting everything down into the garage and marking that off so I know that I have what I’m needing for the trip. The day of I feed the dogs half their meal in the morning before we leave this way their stomach is full heavy while we’re driving long distances and I’ll give their second half of the meal midway through and then their dinner they’ll get their full meal. Since blaze is experiencing some weakness in his hind end, I’ll make sure to stop at least every three hours. I think everybody should do a cross-country road trip at least once in their lifetime. Experiencing all that America has offer is amazing seeing the different landscapes from the high desert of Colorado to the desert of Arizona to the rock, formations in Utah, and an amazing array of lush, green forests and prairie, land, and grasslands, and miles and miles and miles of crops and pastures is magnificent. This type of experience for Blaze in Koro is priceless. They’re getting to experience new environments and meet new people and new dogs and train all along the way. It starts by learning they have to fully settle in the car and these two are pros they get in immediately lay down and fully settle in. At each rest stop they know the command to do their business and they immediately do it. They learn they have to drink water on command.

We are hanging with our favorite local crew! Bella the American bully and G-man the bull terrier!! Blaze and Koro love it here. Bella and G are so great with Blaze now that he is fully blind. They are careful around him and I love seeing how much they love him!

Blaze is 14 yrs old Feb 12th. For 14 years he has given me his all. He was 3 months old when I got him in dog training school. The entire class and the instructors chipped in and helped me get Blaze!!! Little did I know he would change my life so profoundly that I would be able to travel the country with him and train dogs.
He was just 7 months old when he began alerting to my Crohn’s disease.
After I realized what he was doing I began the hard work of training him to be my Crohn’s alert dog. He has never lied or missed an alert in all these years.
He took Koro under his wing helping to guide and mold him to take over the reigns when age slowed him down. He has trained Koro so honestly that Koro now possesses so many of Blaze’s training skills. Blaze is now blind and his hearing flickers on and off when it suits him! He needs help down the stairs, takes longer to find that perfect place to do his business, begs relentlessly now that he is fully retired and sleeps more. His mind is sharp and his desire to continue to work is still strong and although his body looks strong and he can still jump into the suv and on to the bed, he just can’t handle the play of a rambunctious pup. He still comes with me to my training workshops.He loves meeting new people and this makes him very happy. I love that traveling and training still brings him much Joy. He loves his down time and he loves to sleep, play, and eat!! He still knows how to throw in those football moves to fake out me or dogs who are gentle enough to play with him. He still loves squeaking toys and chewing bones and getting spoiled with special treats from his friends.
He is the epitome of who a Griff is and who a Service Dog is and how with the right mix of genetics, love, hard work, and honest training you can have a friend like Blaze. Blaze has help train 300 service dogs the majority of which are diabetic alert dogs.
He has logged over 303 flights, over 375,000 miles in the car, 45 states many multiple times and god knows how many walking miles. He has helped thousands of dogs from@shut down to highly reactive. He is the epitome of what a Griff is!!

This was from a couple years ago when I was working with a highly sensitive/reactive dog in NYC.

I’m really blessed to have animals as my teachers. When you think about it they are as close to God as anyone. They have no preconceived ideas about anything. Then WE domesticated them and we used them for our benefit so long ago. Back then they still had freedom, they still traveled miles and miles with their people pack and it was a win win. You help me hunt and I will share my bounty, you help protect my village and I will in turn protect you, you provide hard labor and I will provide shelter. Nowadays we see less and less freedom for our animals and so they begin to mirror us.
I think people are missing the point a little when we talk about meeting the DOGS needs.
Exercise is very important but if it is spent having to correct a dog who is reactive we are actually keeping that dog reactive. It is more important to have at least 2 structured walks that keep the reactive dog under threshold and therefore keep the dog in a place of contentment where we aren’t pushing to frustration or fear. Reactive dogs are absorbing the energies around them and REACTING. Some of these dogs are anxious As A Result of what they are near or maybe even living with. More often than not your dog mirrors YOU. So you have to be honest with yourself and start with clearing out any negative energy you have or any frustrations you are dealing with so you can be an effective communicator with your dog.
If you keep saying “He is such a great dog BUT “ then YOU are keeping your dog in the state of mind it is exhibiting.

I work with so many people and I now realize when someone makes me feel sick it is because of their energy and the fact that I may be in that flow and that is why it affects me so strongly. I’m learning how to keep my energy flow going and not have other people or Dogs affect it.

Cities are a unique environment for any person or dog. There is so much energy just whirling around that it is hard to remain calm when going through it. I am a little uncomfortable in cities especially when I don’t know where I am going. I got lost last night because I forgot to make a turn. It brought me to a area that was safe just super busy. I didn’t like it and Instead of acknowledging that I worked my self away from that feeling and starting to think of things I did like about where I was and eventually walked and worked myself into a better feeling place. Koco Never reacted that entire walk even though so much was going on.

Koro has a tendency to an addictive/obsessive personality. He is very much addicted to food, so much so that I cannot work any obedience drills with food. He will either rush through the command or just not even do it because he is frantic about the food. So I do all obedience drills without any food on or near me. At the very end of our drills I will give him a jackpot reward. This week we will work with a toy reward to give another option to reward with. Koro is very eye driven and has begun to become a little crazed with the game Fetch. Now that I have realized this I still want to give him what he likes in play while bringing him back to his nose. He has an excellent nose so after a game of Fetch ( eye driven) I end that play with a search game ( nose driven).
In the end of the video you will see he jumps on the counter and this is because the ball that is across from the place he jumps up on is still producing a scent cone and since he really didn’t want to end that game he jumps up on the counter to smell that scent.
I tell him off and he gets down. He has never attempted to counter surf even when there is food on the counter so that is why I know it is still part of the search game I just ended.
