🐾 It’s time for Mythbuster: National Service Dog Month edition! 🐾 Let's kick off this month by debunking common misconceptions about Service Dogs 🐕. Today’s Myth or Fact is: “Service Dogs are allowed everywhere their person is allowed, even in restaurants.” Think you know the answer? Comment with the 😮 emoji if it’s a myth and the ❤️ emoji if it’s a fact. We’ll comment with the answer tomorrow! #dbl #dogsforbetterlives #assistancedog #assistancedogintraining #servicedog #servicedogintraining #servicedogsofinstagram #nsdm #nationalservicedogmonth

Can someone please open a puppy snuggles co-working space? Here’s all you have to do: open a regular co-working space, but invite everyone to bring their dog in (as long as the dog is good with strangers). Then people without dogs who happen to love puppy snuggles can give your dog some extra pats during the day! Dog owners get a dog friendly place to work, the doggy-deprived get some puppy snuggles (and a place to work). Win/win/win

Monday! How was your weekend? Ours was all about family time. Saturday we went to a friend's farm and played with baby goats! Sunday we were at Fort Worden at one of the rare sand beaches in these parts. My kids made a massive driftwood fort, but they've asked me not to post pictures. So here's one of me holding a baby goat! Have a great week! #worklifebalance #managementdevelopment #leadershipdevelopment #leadlikeapro #girardtrainingsolutions

When feeding dogs, be sure to give the same portion to the old dog that you give to the young dog. The young dog has ambition and the old dog has experience and both are paramount to success. #olddog #youngdog #experience #ambition #lightinthedarkness #ubu #leaveembetterthanyoufoundem #supplychainfolksmovetheworld #DYH #ironsharpensiron #togetherwerise #savethepickles

🐵 HE ACTED AS A PROTECTOR UNTIL HELP ARRIVED🐵 Jambo the gorilla lived at a zoo on the island of Jersey in the English Channel from 1961 to 1992. In 1986, a 5-year-old boy named Levan was visiting the zoo with his family when he fell into the gorillas' enclosure. Levan lost consciousness upon hitting the ground. Jambo was seen placing himself between the boy and the other gorillas, a move which was considered protective of the boy. When Levan woke up, Jambo herded the other gorillas away from him, allowing rescuers to move in and remove the boy from the enclosure. #ELearning #VideoProduction  #LearningandDevelopment  #InstructionalDesign #LearningDesign

I attended my first working dog club meeting in the 1980’s. I’ve been addicted ever since. The club system was societies answer to when we left an agrarian lifestyle towards a preindustrial lifestyle. Dogs were less functional in the daily routine and we started to have more time for hobbies. Communities of dog people started to gather and organize. To have shared resources of a membership helped defray costs, coordinate regular meeting times/places, and now expertise could be determined by standardized competitions. It does not take much to impress friends and family with a dog that responds to a few trained commands. It is something else all together to compete against your peers and be judged against a set standard with increasing levels of difficulty. The club becomes a support group of shared goals. It is extra sets of eyes to offer constructive criticism. It is congratulations with success and encouragement with less than stellar performance. It is someone to place a toy, fire a gun, and to help clean up when the day is done. When someone decides they want to learn more about training, I don’t usually suggest the internet, videos, or books, I recommend visiting a dog club!
