In the 90S, 20 years ago, when I was younger, 2- 0 years younger, and a great
deal fitter than I am now, I had 3 working guide dogs: Sieger, a
Huntaway/Samoyede/German Shepherd mix, and 2 monsters, in size, not
temperament: Buck, a purebred Newf, and Wolfgang, mastiff/rhodesian
Ridgeback/beardie collie mix.I worked them on alternate days, and they all got
on very well.
Oh, and just to make sure that I didn't have too much idle time on my hands
for the devil to find work for, I had Afghan Hounds and a tribe of Maltese.

Jody and I were having this discussion earlier today. I've never had 2 working
dogs at once, but find it hard to have multiple pets at once. Well maybe it is
just the 2 I have now. I've had as many as 5 dogs before and that group worked
out really well together.
I was telling Jody how Hank the terrier mixed can be very stubborn and
disobedient. I have to stay on top of him constantly and have to use pretty
firm corrections. He is very confident and tries to be dominant. Winston the
GSD is just the opposite; he is nervous and lacks confidence. He needs lots of
praise and rewards. I have to be very careful not to over correct. Sometimes
the 2 of them together can be exhausting. All that said I love them and we are
stuck together for life.

Yep..
In general, I think it’s very hard to have more then one working dog in the
house. I’ve done it, and would think long and hard before doing it again..
My hat goes off to Donna-don’t know how you do three!
And, we want a Kizzy update!
anybody hear from Kris and Sterling?

Thanks Cait! I still miss the black demon, but he needed more work
than I could give him enough work to keep him happy. I do think that
if Gideon was my only dog he and I would be fine because I could have
given him tons and tons of work. Also if the IPO thing hadn't been a
total fiasco, we would've been fine, but part of that mess was my
fault because I did lose my temper with them when they told me I had to bring
someone else to training and that I could never work my dog on the field.
Anyway, I know he's happy and probably having a blast learning stuff,
so hopefully he'll do well with his new person.

You go, Shanna!!!
I know how much it took to donate Gideon, but I think you are on the
right track-now he’s got his very own person-a GSD’s dream come true!
And Diamond now has you all to herself again-she’s probably thrilled too!
Good luck with your new venture! And, out of all the organizations
you could join, the IACP is a great one! Lots of good, sensible,
knowledgeable folks in that organization!

Hi all,
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and that 2017 is
starting out well. For me, the holidays turned out rather bittersweet.
After a lot of discussion between Gideon's breeder, myself, and our
mutual friend Leslie who trains primarily mobility dogs, I decided
that Gideon would be happier being a service dog with a human of his
very own. Since I'd put all the public access work into him already,
with the exception of the subway and airline travel, I donated him
to my friend so he could enter formal harness training. If all goes
well, Gideon will assist a retired Marine who handled military
working dogs and is a huge Shepherd fan. All I know is that Gideon will be
doing some balance work in downtown Baltimore, and that his new person does
a lot of walking, so Gideon will get lots of challenging work and physical
exercise, as well as his very own person.
I have also decided to take the plunge and start a private service
dog training company of my own. The name I came up with for my
newborn business is Juno Dog Training Academy, or JDTA. My goals are
to assist people with disabilities who are interested in training
either dogs for themselves, or wish to learn to train dogs in a more
general sense...learning to do so despite whatever physical disability they
may have.
I am also wanting to help people evaluate service dog prospects as
an objective third party and offer either board and train options
for people who don't, as an example, feel comfortable teaching
public access, traffic training, and everything in between. I have recently
joined the IACP, well back in October, and plan to sit on their service dog
committee if they'll have me.
IACP stands for the International Association of Canine
Professionals, and they offer a quarterly journal along with access
to a variety of workshops that allow members to learn about almost all
aspects of dog training and keep current within the field.
I was not trying to turn this update into an advertizement, I
totally swear. Anyway, my web site is still under construction
because my web developer just had a new baby who is rather ill right
now, but feel free to let me know if you have questions about what I do or
if I can help someone in any way.
I'm also willing to do vollunteer puppy raising or significantly
discounted for a school or an individual, so long as they can get
the dog to me. I just really miss having a puppy in the house. lol
Take care,
