🐾 Off-leash. Eyes on their handler. Focused and free!!

That's what our Adults in Custody (AICs) are working toward — and watching it come together is something special.
Off-leash training is one of the most exciting milestones in a service dog's development. But it doesn't happen without a rock-solid foundation first. The basics aren't just building blocks, they're the whole structure.
Because when the fundamentals are strong, the big moments take care of themselves ~🐕‍🦺

🐾✈️ ~ Introducing Huey & Hudson
These two made quite the entrance — a 3-leg flight all the way from Guide Dogs of America in Sylmar, CA to Salem, OR!

🛫 Leg 1: LA → Fresno
🛫 Leg 2: Fresno → Redding
🛫 Leg 3: Redding → Salem ✅

Pictured here is Wes Strubhar, the volunteer pilot who flew that final leg and delivered these boys right to us. Wes flies with Angel Flight West — an organization of pilots who donate their time and private planes to transport those with medical needs… and now our future service dogs! 🐕🐕
We are so grateful for every pilot who made this journey happen. This is the kind of community that makes our mission possible!
Welcome to JLAD, Huey & Hudson ~🐾💙

Keep an eye on our page — these two have a big future ahead!

Sit. Stay. Order the mozzarella sticks ~🐾

Our dogs hit Applebee's this week to practice distraction and duration in a real restaurant setting — and they absolutely crushed it. We're so proud of this crew!!

They're here ~🐾
Summer delivered 6 puppies and mama is doing great! 🎉
We are so sad that puppy number 5 did not make it due to complications, but 2 girls and 3 boys are healthy, strong, and thriving. We can't wait to share their journey as they grow into the next generation of JLAD service dogs. Follow along — you don't want to miss a single moment!

SHE WALKED PAST GEESE!! 🪿🪿

If you know Betsy and her prey drive, you know exactly why we're celebrating this.
Pigeons — ignored. Geese — absolutely unbothered. That is HUGE!!

This video might seem low-key. Trust us, it is not. Betsy has been working incredibly hard, and none of this would be possible without her amazing socializer!!

This is the work. This is the progress. This is JLAD ~🐾
