#PADSDogMilestones - Days 10-14⁠⁠ The puppies' #PADSDogMilestones - Days 10-14⁠⁠ The puppies' eyes start to open, this marks the beginning of a transitional period when puppies become more aware of their environment and start becoming less dependent on their mom for warmth and toileting.

Puppies are born blind and deaf and rely on their Puppies are born blind and deaf and rely on their mother both for heat and to help them toilet. For this reason, they make a lot of sounds that are geared towards getting her attention. The twitches they make as they sleep may seem random but they are actually their neurological systems building the capacity to be able to stand within the next couple of weeks. At PADS we start structured handling exercises, called Early Neurological Stimulation, at 3 days old, which can help to develop a more robust cardiovascular and neurological system. #PADSPuppies #HappyBirthday #EarlyNeurologicalStimulation #padsfreddie

Ever wonder what our advanced dogs are up to all d Ever wonder what our advanced dogs are up to all day? Just like any dog in our program, we work to make sure they have a good balance of play, training and rest. One of the training activities our dogs do when they are in advance training is field trips with our advanced trainers. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Here Tony, Dodger and Sadie, are working on their duration downs during a recent field trip. While it might look like a pretty easy task, this can be a hard task for some pups who are always looking for the next task. Our advanced trainers work hard to make sure our dogs can calm and collected in any environment their client may need to go. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ We think they are doing a pretty great job, don't you agree?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #PADSDogs #AdvancedTraining #AssistanceDogsIntraining #AlwaysLearning #PADSTony #PADSDodger #PADSSadie
