🐾❤️ Lesson 5 with Flash!

Flash worked on learning off-leash heeling during his lesson today! We’re building on the foundation we’ve established over the past few weeks, teaching him to stay engaged, follow his handler, and maintain his heel position without relying on a leash. Little by little, we’re building more freedom through clear communication and consistency! 🐕👏

🇺🇸🐾 Happy Veterans Day from Covenant Keeper’s K9 Training Facility! 🐾🇺🇸

Today, we proudly honor the brave men and women who have worn the uniform, stood in harm’s way, and sacrificed so much to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.

To every veteran, thank you for your courage, your dedication, your resilience, and your willingness to serve something greater than yourself.

As dog trainers, we understand the incredible loyalty, trust, and bond that can exist between humans and dogs. We also recognize the extraordinary partnerships between military working dogs and the brave individuals who serve alongside them.

To those who served, those who continue to carry the invisible wounds of service, and the families who have sacrificed alongside them — we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you.

May we never take our freedom or the sacrifices made to protect it for granted.

❤️🤍💙 Land of the free because of the brave.

With gratitude and respect,
Covenant Keeper’s K9 Training Facility

🐾❤️ From Fearful and Defensive to Confident and Learning to Trust — Look at Orville Go!

When Orville first came to us, his response to things that scared him was to make them go away, even if that meant using his teeth. Biting was how he had learned to create distance from people and situations that made him uncomfortable.

Fast forward to today, and look at the progress this boy is making! 🥹

Orville is now able to meet new people, explore public environments, and even hold a sit-stay while construction work is happening nearby!

Think about that for a moment. A dog who once felt the need to defend himself against scary things is now learning that he can remain calm, trust his handler, and navigate uncomfortable situations without reacting.

This is why we focus on more than just obedience. We work on confidence, trust, accountability, emotional regulation, and teaching dogs new ways to respond to the world around them.

Does this mean Orville is suddenly a completely different dog or that all his fears have disappeared? Absolutely not! But it does mean he’s developing the skills and confidence to make better choices instead of immediately reacting out of fear.

We’re not just changing behaviors. We’re changing how Orville experiences the world. ❤️

So incredibly proud of how far this boy has come! 🐾

🐾 Service Dog Handlers! Did You Know This About Uber?! 🚗

I learned something new this evening and thought I would share!

Did you know that under the Accessibility section of your Uber profile, you can indicate that you’ll be traveling with a service dog?! 🐕‍🦺

I personally find this so helpful! As a service dog handler, one of the most frustrating things is having a driver question you, argue with you, or make you feel unwelcome because of your service dog.

And YES, I know the ADA protects our rights and Uber drivers are required to accommodate service dogs. But here’s my thought… Why start a ride with an argument when you can communicate that information ahead of time?

We shouldn’t HAVE to explain ourselves or fight for access, but if there’s a tool that can potentially make traveling with our service dogs a little smoother, I’m all for it!

Just a little tip from one service dog handler to another! ❤️🐾

🐾🎒 A BIG First for India & Cora! 🐕‍🦺❤️

Today marks another exciting milestone in India’s service dog journey — his very first day going to school with his handler, Cora! 🏫

This is such a special step for this team! After all the hours of training, public access outings, and preparation, India is getting the opportunity to take his skills into one of the environments where Cora needs him most.

School brings a whole new level of distractions, from busy hallways and classrooms to students, noises, and constantly changing routines. This is where all that repetitive training and generalization really start to come together!

Our goal isn’t perfection on day one. It’s helping India and Cora continue building confidence, trust, and teamwork as they navigate this new chapter together.

These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do. ❤️🐾

We are so proud of how far this team has come, and we can’t wait to watch them continue growing together!
