🌟 Team Spotlight: Kenzie & Atlas 🌟
I’d like to take a moment to highlight one of our favorite service dog teams: @Kenzie Carlson and her service dog, Atlas 🐾💛 Kenzie received Atlas from ASA Service Dogs four years ago, and we’ve loved watching them grow together ever since! Not only do they shine as a working team, but they also give back so much to our program 🙌 ✨ Kenzie and her family volunteer with ASA fundraising and at community events. ✨ They serve as puppy raisers, giving program dogs-in-training a loving home environment. ✨ Her mom, Tammy, faithfully attends our puppy raiser classes and works side by side with Kenzie to help raise and train dogs that go on to change lives! ✨ Kenzie has also shared her knowledge publicly — giving presentations and spreading education about cerebral palsy and service dogs. Currently, they are raising Joy, one of our program pups, and they’ve raised several dogs before who have since graduated and are now working service dogs in their forever homes! 🙌 We are so grateful to Kenzie, Atlas, and their family for everything they contribute!! If anyone is considering applying for a program service dog through ASA, or interested in becoming a puppy raiser, Kenzie is a wonderful resource. She’s happy to answer questions and share her firsthand experience. Please join me in celebrating Kenzie & Atlas — an incredible team and an inspiring part of the ASA family! 🎉🐕💙

Sandy vs. the Abominable ⛄️
We had a fantastic training session at Lowe’s with our little potato, Sandy! 🌟 She was an absolute rock star during her food training and desensitization session with her new best friend Colton! At this stage, the focus is all about positive exposure to new scenarios and experiences. Obedience will come as the dogs grow and mature, but the most important thing you can do with your puppy at this young age is socialize them appropriately. This helps them grow into confident, happy dogs who are excited to be part of our big exciting world! 🌎🐶 We’re also thrilled to introduce Sandy’s new puppy raiser family: Colton and his brother and sister Kyden and Kenzie and super mom @Holly Westcott . Colton is already showing he’s a rock star too, and tomorrow Sandy will be officially placed with her new foster fam!!🎉 We can’t wait to watch their journey together and share all of their progress inside Cool Dog School.🐾💙

🐾 Training Tip: Dog-Friendly Stores for Service Dogs in Training
In Florida, service dogs in training have the same legal access rights as fully trained service dogs. That said, while a dog is still learning, we often prefer to train in dog-friendly locations. These environments feel more relaxed and give us the freedom to: - Take breaks when needed - Give “free dog” time between exercises - Work on confidence-building skills (like approaching balloons, displays, or unusual objects) - Practice obedience with real distractions but without the pressure of a "formal" setting 🛒 Dog-Friendly Stores to Practice In Here are a few stores that are generally dog-friendly and great for training sessions: - Bass Pro Shops - Home Depot - Tractor Supply Co. - Michaels (Craft Store) ✅ Tip: Even though these stores are dog-friendly, always check with your local store before visiting, as policies can vary by location.
