Junior trainer on duty

The coach

What was that?

 Having kid friendly dogs are very big in our book. They MUST be able to handle whatever a rambunctious child could bring to the table.

What would happen to a service dog if it was rushed by a enthusiastic three year old and snapped in surprise? The child was only showing her love for dogs, however the dog was not socialized well with children and snapped. Unfortunately this dog would most likely be put down, or dismissed from service.
What a sad ending for a great dog this would be. Its only downfall was not enough socialization with youngsters.

Our crew of junior trainers are in charge of kid proofing our dogs. The two year old in this picture is often found laying atop one of the dogs, playing ball, or even ordering them to sit and lie down.

Love you!
