reed’s first professional training report reed was neutered this month so he is no longer a potential breeder but he is otherwise healthy. he is working on holding a plastic dumbbell and pushing drawers closed. he is said to be attentive to his handler and that he has nice puppy skills. he is currently struggling with his high energy (which i expected as he has always been my excited, happy puppy) and his trainer is continuing to work on this behavior. i am so proud of all ur hard work bud. i miss u so much <3 *my handsome boy is front and center in this pic* #caninecompanions #caninecompanionsforindependence #lonestarcaninecompanions #servicepuppy #servicepuppyintraining #servicedog #servicedogintraining #servicedogsofinstagram #servicepuppyofinstagram #yellowlab #yellowlabrador #yellowlabs #yellowlabsofinstagram #yellowlabpuppy

someone LOVES the snow ❄️❄️
Calli has become great at sleeping through long doctor appointments
first public access in a month and she handled it like a champ
because @arya_m_16 asked
never leaving bed
a very sleepy baby
best thing about 2021
Calli loves getting her teeth brushed every night
casual
Loved public access training at #costcobusinesscenter yesterday!
Calli was absolutely amazing during my three hour appointment this week. She’s only 8 months old, but she’s already a pro. I’ve been debating posting the second half of this caption, but I think it is important to raise awareness around the issues that disabled people face everyday. When we initially entered the building, we were stopped by security. They asked me (a small woman with a walker) to pick up my service dog and said they couldn’t let me into the building if I couldn’t pick her up. I calmly let them know multiple times that they had to let us enter the building by law and that I have brought Calli into many hospitals across the country. I was told “well this is Memorial Sloan Kettering and we do things differently.” The security guards proceeded to call the doctors office to get permission for me to bring Calli into the office because as they so “kindly” put it I was “not the only patient”. I was also told at one point that I could go upstairs without Calli. I let them know that saying that was the equivalent of asking me to go up without my walker but they still didn’t budge. All of this went on loudly for over 10 minutes in front of other patients. I cannot stand still for long periods of time and I almost passed out. Flash forward to the actual appointment, we had a nurse (who had nothing to do with my care) pop into our room to “see the cute dog.” Everyone who entered the room proceeded to comment on Calli and say things like “oh, I’ll try not to be distracted by the cute dog.” Hospital staff should be trained on how to interact with a service dog and frankly, I expect much better from one of the top hospitals in the country @memorialsloankettering do better.

I got to go see something new today: BASEBALL!! Yes! My hooman boy had his first t-ball practice this evening and I got to go and watch. I saw two of my friends there: Clark and Henry. Clark is a Boston Terrier and Henry is a Cairn Terrier. My PM made me Down-Stay until I could prove that she was more important to me than them but once I did that, she released me to say hello and I was very gentle with these small puppy friends. I rolled on my back and let Henry climb on me and I let Clark crawl on my face. It was a lot of fun but also a lot of work because I also had to be a good smart listener and check in with my puppy mom which I did. I can’t wait for the next baseball practice! #puppymom #puppymomlife #puppymomforlife #servicepuppy #servicepuppylife #servicepuppyintraining #servicepuppytraining #servicepuppyofinstagram #servicedogintraining #sdit #servicedogpuppy #servicedogpuppies #servicedogpuppyraiser #puppyraiser #puppyparents #puppyparent #puppyparenting #puppyparentlife
So, one of my trainers @jen_blessing told me to practice the “salute” command by putting some tape over my eye and then treating me when I lift my paw to try to get it off. But when my PM tried to practice this with me after a training session at the mall I was just so tired I decided the tape can stay where it’s at I’m going to take a nap now. I’ll live to “salute” another day, folks!!! For now, this is me with tape on my face not giving two flying squirrels about it!! ME: 1, PM: 0. Do you have your “salute” down yet?? What helped you learn it? 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 #servicepuppy #servicepup #salutetoservice #saluteyourshorts #salutetoamerica #saluteourforces #salutetoveterans #servicepuppyintraining #servicepuppyofinstagram #workingdogs
I think its about time I told you my story... I was a box puppy. My 7 siblings and I were tossed in a box on the side of the road on one of the coldest nights in the history of Orlando. We were found when one of the movers helping the next door neighbors mistook our box for one of the neighbors moving boxes and we started barking. Only 3 of us had survived. I was the runt of the litter. We later found out my mom had been Old Yeller'd after she got pregnant again. Mama picked me out specifically to be her service pup prospect and the rest is history. #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #dogstagram #doglife #doggo #puppy #puppylife #puppygram #puppytraining #servicepuppyintraining #servicepuppylife #servicepuppyofinstagram #servicedogintraining #servicedogsofinstagram #servicedogtraining

Yesterday was rare disease awareness... my pal Ruby has Glycogen Storage Disease Type 0 and I”m training to detect when she has low blood sugar, which is pretty often, because her body doesn’t have the ability to store glycogen as energy. Her condition doesn’t stop her from being a super awesome six year old and my BFF! 💖🐶 * * * * * * * * * #servicepuppyofinstagram #servicedog #puppy #servicepup #servicepuppyintraining #labradoodle #dooodlesofinstagram #GSDtype0 #glycogenstoragedisease #hypoglycemia #lowbloodsugar #lowbg #dexcomg6 #lowbloodsugardetection #puppytraining #servicedogintrainingpuppy #chocolatedoodlesofinstsgram #lowbloodsugaralert #rawraised #chocolatedoodlesofinsta #holisticpup #chocolatedoodlelove
