Nevada has been learning deployment skills and is really getting the hang of body targeting. He has been on lots of different field trips, including places like schools. Sometimes, he still has vocal grumbles in public when he feels impatient for some action, so this... Read more

June began with a new pal joining the house. PADS Ivy came to stay for a little while until she found her hooman. I was a very good mentor with lots of patience. June was also a special month because it was my birthday month! I had my first birthday on June 9th and... Read more

This will be my last puppy report for Birdie, who turned 23 months on June 2nd. She has been chosen for the breeding program, so I had to say a fond farewell to her on June 20th. But in the meantime, we had almost 3 weeks of fun-filled activities, starting off with... Read more

Mario enjoyed lots of time outside and at our class BBQ in June. He finished his first year of school, too. He has grown and learned so much in these last 10 months, and made it such a memorable year for all his raiser’s students and co-workers. Submitted by:... Read more

It was another busy month! I came back to my raiser’s home early in the month, and we were busy with errands because they were taking a holiday. I did get a special treat on one of these errands: a pup patty from A&W! I guess they were selling these to... Read more

I had a lot of ‘firsts’ this month! I had my first week-long stay with a sitter, where I had a brilliant time. I also went to my first-ever training sessions that were for the human instead of me! I did an amazing job with being ever so quiet under the training room... Read more

I am such an excitable pup that a calm greeting is something I need to work at! And that is what I have been doing, especially with this nice weather and being out and about a lot. I also did convocation at my raisers’ work, where there were a lot of people. And... Read more

Towhee had some new experiences this month. First, she got to go on an adventure with one of her raisers to Calgary on an airplane. After a bit of a rocky start, missing their plane due to traffic, they made it onto another flight, and Towhee travelled like a champ,... Read more

Hello again! I can’t believe another month has gone by. I turned 7 months old this month, but I’m a big boy, so some people think I’m fully grown. Nope! I’m still a silly puppy and have more growing to do. I’m working on staying in one position for longer periods of... Read more

I got to spend the beginning of June with PADS Taj, and his hooman while I wait to find my own hooman. He introduced me to some new skills and showed me his favourite sniffy spots on trails. I was very lucky he was patient with my puppy antics. Since we had to share... Read more

Looks like the summer is here! I am so excited, as my raiser and I make sure that we soak up the rays with meandering walks off-leash and on a long line. We are getting pretty creative with our commutes just so that we can sneak off the well-worn path and enjoy the... Read more

The big news for Indy this month was a swap, kind of. PADS Aang’s raiser was going on vacation & needed a sitter. Heidi was willing to sit, but needed a dog that would be ‘solid’ at her work, & Judi – well she was up for anything. So... Read more

I am ten-and-a-half months old and still growing, but not as fast as before. I am a few pounds heavier than I should be, so my people are measuring my food very carefully. They are pescatarians so we like to eat the same things. Dried salmon and sardines are my... Read more

So many firsts in June! I took my small(ish) human to the hairdresser and an eye appointment and was such a good boy waiting patiently at both appointments. I stayed in my down while I waited, even when the staff wanted to pet me. I also got to attend my first dance... Read more
