Gustav practicing sit and stay

Gustav is still training. He is a hard worker but is still very interested in attention from people. Although his work does not require him to be at full attention we are working on social interactions.

Lazy Bones Maci Lou

Maci Lou loves lounging around and cuddling up whenever she can! She’s very calm and assertive, attentive and is always by my side. Maci Lou had a very tough start to her life. She was abandoned in a snow storm at 4 months old. I had found her myself and had her medically checked and adopted 2 weeks later. She is now 4 years old. She has had a wonderful life since. She’s very well trained and mannered

Ginger in Marina del Rey

Ginger was a companion for the primary dog of a friend. While visiting in 2016, Ginger would curl up next to my feet whenever I sat down. Though I was only visiting for five days, we bonded. Returning home I missed Ginger and asked my friend if she would let me have her. After taking several months to process giving up Ginger I was told that I could come get her. Though I had been suffering from PTSD for some time, I had no idea what a comfort Ginger could be in moments of severe depression. Though she loves people our bond is so strong there is only one other person she will even let hold her lease. Her native instinct to comfort me and her unwillingness to be away from me prompted me to prepare her to operate as a PTSD service dog. After a year, it continues to be a challenge to balance allowing her the freedom she needs for exercise and play with the discipline to be a well-behaved service dog, in public spaces more because of her intellectual curiosity than anything else. She is an instinctive guard dog and protects me from people with “bad” energy and the unsolicited intentions of other dogs. All in all, we are a great team.
