July update

We are making great strides. Flora now trusts the trainer to release her so she is beginning to check in with me when out in the yard. She is also beginning to come and lay by me when we are out in the yard. All good signs.

Phase 3 of training

I made it another step in training!

Phase Three training expands on the skills pups have learned in Phase One and Two. Once the Phase Three Trainer has spent some time with the dog and has gotten to know its personality and strengths and weaknesses they will match the dog to a client on the “Find A Dog” list and begin teaching the tasks that this particular client requires of their Assistance Dog. They also try to match up similar personalities of clients and their dogs. Phase Three of training can take from 4 – 8 months depending on how many tasks the dog needs to learn.

Pup-dates

Flora is still in Phase 1&2 training. she has a little stubborn streak they are working on.

Founder & Fritz are in phase 3 of training. YAY!

Fargo & Fable decided PAWS wasn't the job for them. Fable moved to Mid-Michigan Kennels w/Mike Morgan but was no more successful there than at Paws. Too distracted and wouldn't stay on task . . . Fargo- waiting for News

Flair decided to try police k-9 training and after a very short 9 days of training, he was placed as a Narcotics dog in Iowa!

Findley was removed from the program after one week and returned back home. He is doing very well back with his "pack"....

Friday is a certified arson detection dog in Moore county, Maine. We just got a picture of the deputy and K-9 Friday as they call him. So he was destined for greatness at finding things from early in his "career". He was a very HIGH energy dog like the rest of the litter.

Freyja Finn & Frisbee are yet to be heard from. YAY F's
