First Post and what this page is all about

Welcome, and thank you for checking out this page.  I hope to accomplish many things with this blog from sharing my personal stories, training tips and issues and what works for Bones and i as a team to public awareness of  Service Dogs.

Please understand that the training tips unless specified are tips and tricks ive used and im not a professional dog trainer yet i have done all of Bones training myself. And just because it worked for us it may not work for you.

Heres a bit of a background on Bones. I rescued him 5 1/2 years ago from a hoarder where he was living with a pack of approximately 30 other dogs. He was 5 at the time, had no name, was emaciated, matted, had been abused and suffered from broken ribs and i found out this year that he also had suffered a broken femur that grew back incorrectly due to him not having any vet care back then. On our first walks together he would bolt away from anyone coming near us. Soo, ive had my hands full...But hes been wonderful, its been a long road together but now hes healthy, happy and loves people. He never stops smiling even on his days that his leg is hurting. One of his best friends is a neighbor girl who is autistic, he was drawn to her and they are so cute together and as far as how he is with me, hes a silly dog who likes to make me laugh and tries really hard to please. At times it takes him longer to learn things and im not sure if its due to him being 10 or if its because he when i rescued him he literally knew nothing so he was behind on things. Either way i dont mind, we are at each others side 24/7 and have been since the day i rescued him.  With the constant attention, affection and consistency hes came a long way.

For those who also follow Bones on his FaceBook page you should know all posts will be made on here by his handler, not Bones himself as its done on there. While i love that page and enjoy it very much on there i want this to be a bit more on the serious side. But please feel free to follow both pages, sometimes my counterpart ( Bones) can be every entertaining, its a part of his charm that makes him soo special to me.

Soo, this was just a short intro as the first post and you will see in the upcoming days new articles showing up on various topics and please if you have a suggestion for a topic or any questions feel free to message me anytime.
