Meet Turner! I actually picked him up from an animal shelter near me. I believe he is an approximately 7 month old Doberman Pinscher. He’s such a cool dog, passing all temperament tests with flying colors and extra bonus is that he is so cuddly. He may be available at a later date!

Washing a dog is hard. It’s not a decision that can be made lightly and isn’t a decision that someone should have to make alone.

Unfortunately there is an up to 70% wash rate for service dogs, including owner trained and program dogs. Service dogs are the elite dogs, more dogs are suitable for a given bite sport than there are dogs suitable to be a service dog.

Part of this reality is due to breeding. Few programs have their own breeding programs that produce future service dogs. Instead many programs outsource from other breeders who may not necessarily breed solely for service work.

Another part is due to the fact that service dogs are on duty 24/7. It takes a very special dog that can work all the time. We don’t expect people to be on call 24/7, so it’s hard to expect that of an animal.

Programs have it easier because we have less invested in these dogs. But owners pour their hearts and souls into training their dogs and are heartbroken when they wash. It’s the nature of the game.

The point of this post is that I want you to know that if you are considering or have washed your service dog in training, you are not alone. And I can say with some degree of certainty that you are likely correct in believing that your dog was not up to the task. Because so few are. If you aren’t able to keep your previous service dog and had to rehome it, you ARE valid. The reality is that not everyone can hold onto every dog and you wanted to began to train your service dog for a reason.

There is a problem in the service dog community where we shame handlers who make the decision that is ultimately best for their dog to rehome them. If you are unable to provide the best life for your washed service dog, REHOME IT. Every single dog deserves to be someone’s entire world. If you cannot provide that for a dog then find someone who will.

There is no shame in having to rehome a washed service dog. There is no shame in having to rehome multiple washed service dogs. It’s a sad reality that owners and programs face every day. But shaming people in the community for doing what they believe to be right for their dog is one of the biggest things wrong with the community.

Hugo has a meet up with a potential handler to see if he might be a good fit. Wish him luck! He’s such a sweet man.

Hugo tonight at our photo shoot to try out my new camera body. He’s such a looker but also so goofy looking. Still taking applications for this amazing guy!

Introducing my new board and train Roux! He belongs to .w.roux

He’s a wonderful SDiT that needs a little tune up on obedience and public access skills. So far he’s been a pleasure to have around the house.

Currently we are working on natural engagement, since he is a bit of a teenage golden boy and is very enveloped in the smells around him.

I’m sitting here writing this, still reeling and in shock. On Monday I said goodbye to Zion, my best friend. No words can describe how much this amazing dog meant to me.

Zion was my little spoon, my hiking buddy, my comfort, my working partner, my service dog, my everything. Without her here I feel so lost, I have no idea how to recover from her being gone. She was my rock for the past year and a half. And she was taken far too soon.

She touched the lives of so many people, and brought joy to all those who knew her. I can’t express how much it pains me to say that she will never again brighten someone’s day. I can’t believe I’ll never see her again.

I love you so much baby girl, my mama, I will miss you till the end of my days.

Best buddies!

Hugo has been having a hard time with Arlo leaving, they were always out together. Hoping that things brighten up for him!

Congratulations AJ and Arlo on graduation!

Today Arlo had her final transfer day where she was tested on public access. She did great! A few hiccups with how far I parked from the testing site but AJ handled her so well!

I cannot wait to see their partnership grow ❤️

Exciting things are happening! Arlo went to her new home with and is doing great. We are slowly transitioning her over with daily training days! Because Arlo has gone to her new handler, Zion is being brought back into work and is loving life!

08/13/2022

After the last group of board and trains that I have going home this next week Arlo’s transfer begins! Then Zion, Hugo and I will be headed out on a road trip to hit some national parks!

So excited to take some space from working like crazy and spend some time with the dogs.
