🎄 Holiday Baking Reminder 🍪

The holidays are full of cookies, treats, and good intentions—but for those with celiac disease or food allergies, one crumb can mean days or even weeks of illness.

This checklist isn’t about perfection.
It’s about awareness, care, and honesty.
✔️ Clean spaces
✔️ Separate tools
✔️ Label everything
✔️ No “just a little” swaps
✔️ Transparency over assumptions

Because celiac and food allergies are medical—not a preference.
If you’re baking, hosting, or gifting this season, this checklist can help keep everyone safe—and included.

Feel free to save, share, or pass it along.
Kindness looks like safety + transparency.

✨ NEW Gluten Detectives Episode! | “Wicked: For Good… inspired, of course” ✨

Tonight’s case took a magical turn.
Aurita and Bodi uncovered the ancient Grimmerie deep inside the Wicked universe - and let’s just say… spells aren’t the only thing hiding inside that book.

In this episode, the team tracked down a mysterious gluten contamination that threatened the entire Wicked premiere. From backstage chaos to heroic snack-table saves, these pups proved once again why they’re the best in the business.

Following in the pawprints of our Gluten Detectives, Aurita and Bodi, let’s talk about a situation many service dog teams eventually face…

Encountering a “fake” or untrained service dog in public can be stressful, dangerous, and disruptive — especially for handlers who rely on their dogs to keep them safe every day. Aurita and Bodi have dealt with this in their adventures, and now we’re breaking down exactly what you should do if it happens to you.

Our recent trip to the zoo was so much fun! I'm still not sure who had the most fun...the dog, the humans, or the zoo animals. It was a fantastic day full of fun, learning, and laughter.

When imprinting is done correctly and the dog is gradually introduced to multiple ingredients mixed with the target odor, they learn to recognize it even in processed or complex foods. That’s the key to real success!

How Gluten Detection Service Dogs Work

Dogs like Bodi and Aurita are trained to use their incredible sense of smell to find even trace amounts of gluten — something humans can’t detect but can make a big difference for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Through structured scent training, they learn to:

Identify the unique odor signature of gluten

Give a clear alert when gluten is found

Offer an “all-clear” signal when it’s safe

Their work helps prevent accidental exposure and cross-contamination in food, medications, and environments-allowing their handler to live with greater safety and confidence.

At Willow Service Dogs LLC, this training combines science, precision, and teamwork-transforming scent detection into a life-changing skill.

These gluten detection teams are ready to go.
Gluten- and allergen-detection dogs need to be of sound temperament and well socialized for a night of trick-or-treating to ensure they do not spook at the things they may encounter and can work reliably.

Karine and Elton were on CTV in Canada this morning. They graduated a few months ago as an allergen detection team. Elton alerts to sunflower, which is not one of the top 10 food allergens, so products are not labeled for this, making things incredibly challenging. when reading labels. We are so very proud of both of them, and congratulations to Karine on her new travel agency.

Today is International Day of Friendship. There is no stronger friendship than the one between a service dog handler and their dog. This is Jess and Teddy. Jess may look familiar. She is the person in the Platinum Performance article with Harald. She trained Harold 10 years ago with Willow Service Dogs. He was the 1st dog trained through Zoom. Tragically, Harold passed away suddenly 6 months ago. Jess can not be without a gluten detection dog and rescued Teddy shortly after; to our amazement, his scentwork has progressed very quickly. We are still working on his impulse control. He is a little excited and bouncy; he is still young at only 10 months old.

Flipping the heel!
This is Theo, a gluten detection dog in training, learning this vital skill. Service dogs can learn to do this to create distance from something in the environment, placing he handler in between the dog and the trigger. Most often, it is used when another dog in the environment is barking or lunging. This is just another tool in the toolbox for handlers to use to keep their service dog safe from potential dangers.
