Alright cool humans + cool dogs, here we go! Our very first official challenge is the Leave It Challenge 🎉 👉 Here’s how it works: - Post your Leave It Challenge videos right here in this thread, in the comments under this post. - You’ll also see a “LEAVE-IT 💪 CHALLENGE” video category — that’s where it will be stored once you post. 💡 What to do: We’re going to reward and give LOTS of positive reinforcement when our dogs leave it — whether it’s food (try a variety!) or even an object. The goal is clarity + calmness: dog sees the temptation, resists, and gets rewarded big time. 🎥 Posted is the first official Leave It-Challenge video💪 so you have a clear example of how to present the object and encourage the “leave it” choice- whether your dog already knows the command, or they're learning it for the first time. ✨ I also added some info in Mission 3, so check that out if you haven’t yet! 📌 The Goal: Post five Leave It videos on five different days. There’s no rush — this challenge is ongoing. You officially complete the challenge once you’ve uploaded all five, but take your time and have fun with it. Label your videos: "Day 1 Leave-It Challenge - Griz" "Day 2 Leave-It Challenge - Griz & Padfoot" "Day 3 Leave-It Challenge - Ginny"... and so on! I’m really excited to see all your Leave It videos in the comments — and of course, keep going with your Mission videos as well! Mission videos should still be posted under “Write Something” in the community. Can’t wait to cheer you all on!! 🐶🙌💪

@Tawnya Thomas and her amazing service dog Harley officially gave her very first natural alert — no scent cans, no scent samples — just a real-time alert to Tawnya’s high heart rate in public!!!!! 💓🐾 Great job, Tawnya, for taking action with your sweet Harley and putting in the consistent training. It’s so clear that Harley loves playing the game with you, and watching the videos you shared honestly brought tears to my eyes!! 💛 🌟 We are ALL super proud of you and Harley. This is a huge step forward, and such an inspiring moment for the whole community. Everyone drop Tawnya a 👍 and some big congratulations for reaching this point. It’s a truly exciting day for this awesome team! 🙌🐶💪 👉 You can see the video in her posts below!

We walked in my room from the bathroom after I took a shower and Atlas would NOT come on my bed when I was encouraging him to. So I gave up and laid on my bed. I look over not 2 minutes later and I see this… He was “asking” to get on my bed. Busdy, I was literally encouraging you to come up and you refused, but okay sure come on up 😂🤦🏼‍♀️😍🥹🐕‍🦺

The first time Mingo ‘sang’ we thought it was just a fluke but every time this song played, he would ‘sing’. He only sings this song and I’m not sure if it is because he loves it or hates it. So here is Super Freaky Mingo singing along with Nicki Minaj - It is not the best song 😬 - This song samples a song from the 80s and if I play Super Freak, he does ‘sing’ during the chorus which I think means he is brilliant😂

Your missions are looking AWESOME—seriously, I love seeing all your videos, whether it’s training wins or just silly, fun dog stuff. 🙌🐶 I’ve been thinking about what our next step could be… and I’d love your feedback.
