An important aspect of training not only Service Dogs, but pet dogs as well is commands from distance. We need them to be able to follow commands if they are not in direct physical contact with us. Tasks Servce Dogs perform are often without that direct physical contact. They can also be without a verbal command which is why we also train them to pick up on subtle cues. Let's get out and train and have some fun. Heeling is Healing www.k9heroes4heroes.com #servicedogs #veterans #firstresponders #veteransupport #dogtraining

Did You Know...Dog Size Matters? https://lnkd.in/dkpSzf7h Service Dogs are not all Labrador, German Shepherd and the like. This is partly due to the specific tasks the dog is trained to perform for the handler... #asdregistry #ASD #servicedogsforveterans #servicedogs #bogusservicedogs #veterans #veteransupport

"When you are passive and can't walk, a horse helps you run. When you are afraid, a horse teaches you to trust. When you are weak, a horse helps you build strength. When you can't find your voice, a horse helps you speak without words. When you want to give up, a horse shows you how far you can go." - Blake Ryan #horsesformentalhealth #seenthroughhorses #longlivethehorse #zoetisequine #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #personalgrowth #veterans #firstresponders #mentalhealthtools #TBI #healthandwellness #ptsdrecovery #ptsd #infantry #sof #trauma #ems #searchandrescue #warhorsesforveterans

Why are canines so suited to be service companions for #military & #veteran pros? Dogs thrive on COMMUNICATION, on COMMUNITY & on objectives-based CARE. Sound familiar? That was one of the things discussed at last night's kick-off meeting for our new campus-wide Warrior Canine Connection Club at the University of Maryland. A room full of nexgen motivation ready to serve allgen #veterans & families... it was a great sight to host at the University of Maryland - Robert H. Smith School of Business. What else did I learn? - Many dogs may be born to serve, but not all are born to be service dogs. For that special mission, they need to be both bred & trained with purpose. - Intelligence & demeanor are critical factors, but so too is health. Not unlike joining the #armedforces, these dogs need to be reliably fit & up-rounds from day-1. - Once screened, that's when the real tests begins. Again like the military, each dog spends up to 18 months in basic training with screening throughout. The best will promote to advanced training & then be assigned to serve where they're needed the most. - Finally, along the way, they may even see a transition! A dog with a great nose may become a Sent Tracker. One with great genes could have a tour as a Breeder. Others may be tagged for Facility service, or many may be selected as Ambassador Dogs. ... the commonalities abound! Thanks to Molly Elmore M.A. Education, PMP for a great presentation (+ some tasty pizza). Dogs + Vets + Students = Awesome! Initiative for Veteran Lifelong Leadership

This weekend, The American Legion is hosting MCON, in partnership with Veteran Benefits Guide, in a continued saga of TAL saying one thing and doing the complete opposite (very DC of them). You see, The American Legion’s DC office has, continuously, for well over a year, touted their devotion to protecting #veterans from predatory actors. VBG, notoriously known as predatory company, has preyed upon veterans for their entire existence - shown by the mounting lawsuits they face across the nation. So, the partnership seems a bit bizarre. To explain this through another lens, let’s imagine I partnered with PETA or Vegan Outreach. That would be a wee bit peculiar, because my entire platform is dedicated to advocating for veterans and encouraging them to get outside - to hunt and fish. It might cause you to question my focus. You may start to ask yourself if, rather than prioritizing my personal beliefs, I’m willing to sacrifice my convictions for a dime. That’s kinda what it looks like when a #Veteran Service Organization says they’re against predatory claims companies and then signs a contract with them. Politicians play word games. Veteran Service Organizations should not. Take a stance, stand tall, don’t bend for a check, and don’t lie to your membership. _____ 📸: unrelated photo #va #veteranaffairs #betheone #toapplycriticalthinkingskills #veteransstrengtheningamerica #dontfeedthesharks #claimsharks

This photo of our Prescott veteran/ dog teams is cool because it shows you a few (of many!) of the great parts of training in our program. Group training. ✔ Training in a public location. ✔ Graduate teams taking part in training. ✔ 🐾 Group training is great for both the veterans and the dogs. The dogs have the opportunity to navigate distractions and the veterans have a built-in support group of their peers. 🐾 Training in public is necessary for any future service dog. This group, under the guidance of their experienced trainer, Jamie, will learn how to handle situations that arise when in public locations. That way they are prepared after graduating. 🐾 Once teams graduate, we encourage them to become mentors or to join our Operation Graduate Training (OGT) program to not only help new teams but to keep up the skills of their dogs. Pictured here are two in-training teams, Henning & Ollie and Reghan & Whiskey, and two graduate teams, Bruce & Ziggy and Payson & Thea. We're so proud of all of them! #group #public #training #servicedogintraining #servicedog #goodjob #nailedit #team #teamwork #partner #bestfriend #yougotthis #veteran #dog #team #combatveteran #rescuedog #veterans #dogs #healing #ptsd #tbi #awareness #mentalhealthawarness #touching2livesatonce #soldiersbestfriend
