Hmm!

Tori loves her turkey leg toy 

The New York Islanders recently shared an awesome pupdate on Tori's training pawgress & she's doing great ! Tori is our @nyislespup training towards becoming a service dog for a veteran, or first responder in need. Her puppy raiser, Lisa, has taught her PTSD service dog tasks, such as rest and alert.

Our Washington Capitals pup, Captain, and his raiser, Deana, were on Fox 5 DC this morning to give a special pupdate on his pawgress. Captain has been working on his #servicedog skills, including rest & alert as his training continues

Today was our @wbaltvpuppy, Brooks', last day on WBAL-TV 11 Baltimore & we can't believe how time has flown since he was first introduced as a young pup 

Brooks will now head to our campus in Smithtown, NY, to begin his formal training towards becoming a service dog for a veteran, or first responder in need ????

We share Holly's sense of pride for the progress Brooks has made, and we look forward to watching him grow even more in the coming months.

Did you know that we train our guide dogs to halt for height obstacles? When the dog halts, the handler reaches out to investigate, and then prompts the dog to find a way around the obstacle.

What are you looking forward to cooking & eating for Thanksgiving next week? It seems our @atlutdpup, Spike, has a preference for corn
