So proud of for passing their CGC today! They also got their VHMA title last week!

Later this week they will be taking their CGCA and TKN & TKI! Wish them luck on their next set of testing!
(We did not train this handler or pup, we only evaluated the tests)

Harley practicing confidence building in Home Depot to help her in new environments, simulating how riding in a gurney or hospital bed will feel, balance, and simply building trust between her and the handler. Service dogs need to be able to trust their handler and what they’re being asked to do. They need to trust you will not let them get hurt, or put them in harms way. You need a strong relationship with your service dog before you can go into hectic and crazy environments. Those environments can be a lot on the dogs their first times and they need to be able to feel comfortable looking to you for guidance in those new situations.

Harley has began task training. She is currently working on item retrievals, deep pressure therapy, medical response and began foundations of scent training for medical alerts.

Harley was adopted from the Pet Resource Center on November 2nd and she has come such a long way in a short amount of time!

Hi, my name is Birch! I am 6 years old and have been at the “Pet Resource Canter” in Tampa FL for over 3 months. My foster mom had Bri come out and assess me, get some videos and get to know my behaviors and how I learn best!

My favorite reward is praise, I really love the pets, attention, and “good girls” I still can act like a puppy even though I am 6. I pull on the leash, but respond well to frequent directional changes, figure 8s, etc. after a few minutes of this I will walk nicer. Sometimes I get nervous and stop walking, I just need some extra encouragement along the way!
I am potty trained and crate trained. I get along with other dogs, but do best with respectful dogs. I do like to have my own space as well. I can be in a home with or without dogs. I am a gentle girl and may be able to do well with children, but I haven’t been around any while in the shelter.

All I want for Valentine’s Day is a home! My foster mom even offered to pay for the first training session with Bri with Rescued K9!

Harley is the newest member of the Rescued K9 Pack. Harley was adopted nearly 3 weeks ago and was dog reactive due to over excitement, she often pulled on the leash, and didn't have much handler focus. After daily walks with boundaries and learning how to heel and other important commands she has improved drastically and we are beyond proud of this babygirl!

About halfway through the video Harley see's another dog along her walk, looks away and continues, then looks back at the dog and is told to 'leave it', she leaves it, then continues on her walk. This is a major improvement from when she first came home!

Service Dog Diesel on trainer Bri's college campus being a good boy!
Diesel performs many tasks to assist Bri to be more independent. He performs item retrievals, counter balance, deep pressure therapy, behavior interruptions (during leg tapping), he is learning medical alerts to Bri's high heart rate so she can decide whether or not she needs to take emergency medications, and he is learning much more.
If you need any assistance with task training, don't hesitate to reach out. We can also help with coming up with tasks to help with improving independence!
