Cable's August Celebrations!

 On August 25th, Cable turned one year old.  What a milestone!

Amanda bought her a birthday biscuit to celebrate and Galaxy and Kira came to Ruffsport to celebrate with Cable, Heather and Anna Marie.

We hope you will enjoy these photos and videos of Cable's birthday and her continued learning process.

Don't forget to share our pages with all dog lovers in celebration of #InternationalDogDay and Cable's birthday this week!  Cable's funding runs out at the end of October, 2021, but she has a long time to go in her training.  Anyone wishing to help support Cable's puppy--> dog--> service dog training is invited to donate in honour of her first birthday:

Delicious!

Cable and the fly

 

Please enjoy this video of Cable learning to “ignore” most distractions put in her path.  Great preparation for training her to keep her focus on Amanda in order to be ready to tune in to any signals that Amanda needs help.  OK, the fly did disrupt her focus temporarily, but Cable is still young… not even a year old.

Cable in July!

Cable continues to build her confidence and foundational skills with Heather at RuffSport.  Most service dogs begin the task training for their specific service dog job when they are about 14 - 18 months old so she has about 7 more months of basic training to prepare for that next step. During this time, Cable will be socialized with other dogs and exposed to a variety of places, textures and sounds, along with basic obedience training.   

Currently we have enough funds in Cable's Go Fund Me account to last 4 more months, until the end of October, 2021. 

Please let your friends, family and any other dog-lovers in your lives know about our campaign to have Cable trained as a seizure-response dog, and we will keep you apprised of upcoming events to help raise funds. 

Today we will catch up on photos from this month!  Enjoy.

Learning to get along and to ignore other dogs, so she won't be distracted while working

And you MAY have noticed that John and I got a new dog this month! Galaxy joined Kira and Cable for a Golden Day of training at RuffSport with Heather!

Keep the Momentum Going!

 One year ago today we had raised enough money to sponsor Cable's training for 2 months. Now we have enough to continue her training for a full year!! Thank you so much!

Cable continues to learn and grow. She was working and learning right through Canada Day! Check out her photos below!!

We will continue to work on raising the remainder of the funds needed to complete Cable's training as a seizure-response dog.

Several raffles are in the works for November, and a follow-up "Walking for Woofs" in October. We can't wait!

Please continue to spread the word by sharing our page

Let's keep the momentum going. Our Go Fund Me : https://bit.ly/3fvYtxd hit over $14,000 in one year. Let's double that by next July and help this puppy get the training she needs to help Amanda.
