Delta here! He’s one of the newest puppies in the program. He's learning leash-walking and polite behavior in public. Keep it up, Delta! #ServiceDogInTraining
Fun fact: his handler calls him “Little Cowboy.” 🤠

Did you know that a service dog has public access to go wherever needed? #ServiceDogLife

Have you met Hercules, the New Life K9 doggie sidekick? He attends all sorts of events and demonstrations to show everyone the hard work that his friends do. 🐕

[New Life K9s @NewLifeK9s]

Say hello to Maria and Miss T! They're little travel buddies!
The level of socialization in puppies is gradually increased to ensure positive association to the environment. 🐕

Service dogs lead the way to build relationships and trust! The human-canine interaction releases oxytocin, known as the “bonding hormone” in both the human and dog. 🐕 #ServiceDogsWork

Are you headed to Farmers’ Market tonight? We'll be there, so come stop by and say hi! 🐕

[New Life K9s @NewLifeK9s]

What qualities does a service dog need?
- Confidence
- Trust
- Love
These determine how capable dogs are to make choices, how comfortable they are in situations, and the success of the relationship. 💙 #ServiceDogsWork

[New Life K9s @NewLifeK9s]

Puppy Parents have the important job to love and positively expose the puppy to the world. 🌎🐕 Thank you to the volunteers that take on this commitment, which ultimately changes lives forever! 💙

#Throwback to when Moose was this small! Now at 9 months old, he’s been working on opening and closing doors. This way he’ll be able to help his future first responder or veteran get around or get things from cabinets. #ServiceDogsWork
