For this week’s Follow-Up Friday, we’re spotlighting Certified Hearing Assistance Dog 🐾 Poppy and her handler Allison! This dynamic duo attended the NE RAB event, “Bark to School,” over the weekend, and they had an amazing time. They snapped some absolutely adorable photos to mark the occasion, capturing all the fun and excitement of the event! CHD Poppy also had a special moment this week, doing a photoshoot with one of our signature DBL green bandanas! She looked as stylish as ever, and Allison was kind enough to send over some photos for us to share. Stay tuned for more cuteness overload coming soon! Thank you, Poppy and Allison, for your continued dedication and for always bringing smiles to our faces! #dbl #dogsforbetterlives #assistancedog #assistancedogintraining #servicedog #servicedogintraining #servicedogsofinstagram #followupfriday

Check out Assistance Dogs in Training 🐾 Maverick, 🐾 Magna, 🐾 Killian, 🐾 Vicki, and 🐾 Noelle mastering the "place" command! With just a simple cue, these amazing pups know to go to their designated bed or mat, lay down, and stay put until released or given another command. Even with the trainer outside the room, their focus and discipline shine through! This is just one of the many important skills they’re learning on their journey to becoming life-changing Assistance Dogs. #dbl #dogsforbetterlives #assistancedog #assistancedogintraining #servicedog #servicedogintraining #servicedogsofinstagram
