Happy #WhyWeTrain Wednesday! 🐕 Here, you can see Dune practicing the “tug” skill. This can be used to open doors and cabinets but also to pull off items of clothing, help their partner get out of a chair, and much more! Our pups start to learn this skill by playing tug with a rope as early as 5 months old. It's amazing to see how this simple game can evolve into a life-changing skill! #whywetrain #caninepartnersoftherockies #servicedog #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #disabilityawareness

Welcome to our first #WhyWeTrain Wednesday! Each week, we’ll be sharing one of the skills our dogs learn, and how it assists their human partners. Here, you can see Zuni picking an item up and bringing it to her partner. The verbal cue for this skill is “get it.” When Zuni was a puppy, she started learning by playing fetch with a toy - eventually, she learned to get a dumbbell, then generalized to any item her partner points at! This skill is essential for mobility dogs, who may assist their partners with everything from picking up dropped items to loading the laundry. Thanks to the hard work of our trainers and handlers, Zuni uses this skill (and many others) to support her partner’s independence!

We're so proud of Huckins - Children's Hospital Colorado's newest Medical Dogtor! 💙🐾
Meet Huckins, our newest MD! (Medical dog, that is.) Huckins joined our pack from Canine Partners of the Rockies early this summer. Since then, he's been busy in new hire orientation, getting serious zoomies in the Canine Respite Area and showing up to work each and every day with pep in his step — without coffee. Handlers and child life specialists Shalise Hickman, CCLS and Sarah Mraz report that Huckins loves to meet new people, especially patients, and that he'll receive an "exceeds expectations" rating in the performance management tool this cycle. Welcome, Huckins! We love you already. #HereItsDifferent
