About Luna
My name is Luna. I was born March 24, 2019. My handler's name is Marquis. He is the greatest ever! I am currently in school in Soledad, California at CTF to become a service dog for someone suffering from PTSD. I am playful, lovable, and have a fondness for people and other dogs.

Hello, there my name is Luna. I am a very sweet dog who loves to be scratched behind my shoulders. Please be nice when you do my nails, especially my front paws. They are very sensitive. I do not like my ears cleaned either nor do I like being smothered, this makes me leave immediately (I guess you could say I'm very independent). I love to play, but I also need my time to decompress and be alone. I can be a bit overprotective with the person or things I love. If I do not like a dog, I will keep them out of my area. I prefer to eat alone, this way I do not stress out as I eat. No, I am not perfect, but I am a very loving and sweet dog. I hope we can become friends. Thank you, yours truly, Luna.

Hello! It’s me, Luna. I really enjoy living in my new home but I miss my friend Ms. Flores. I have visited with her 3 times, she loves me and I love her. The other day I performed a perfect emergency recall.
The guys were very happy and I got lots of love and treats. I go out with Gary every morning to do all kinds of stuff. He is the greatest! We work and play every day.Kodi and I often play, but the guys stop us when it gets loud. I can identify objects and colors and I am not eating off the floor so much anymore. I am also pretty good at freezing and I’m getting better at retrieving.
I love to play tug and catch! My favorite thing to do is nap throughout the day. I also love to play with Jeanie, Von, Kodi, and Rose. They are very fun. Well, until next time!

Hi, everyone. I’ve been having a good new year so far! I’ve been practicing my manners a lot lately. I want to get better at all of my manners because I know that I need to have good manners in order to be the best service dog. Sometimes I get too excited and jump, so I will be working on that.
I love playtime and going on long sniffy walks. I'm a lab so I love anything you give me to eat. I also like to hang out with my friend Kodi. Talk to everyone soon.

This month I have been working on controlling my excitement. I have also been working on greeting people and being mindful. I get too excited and jump on people. I am happy to say that I am getting better and better every day.
I love playing at the dog park so much! My favorite game is tug. My favorite snack is peanut butter with cheese sandwich crackers. Well, thanks for checking in! Talk to you soon!

September 2020 UpdateHi everyone,
I've been working on my manners and behavior as always. I don't think anything is wrong with my manners but I guess putting my paws on people when I'm happy to see them is not acceptable behavior for a service dog. I'm trying to get that under control.
I love going on long walks with my dad to sniff things. Playtime, eating, and meeting new people are some of my favorite things too!

Luna here! We've been working on chilling out because sometimes I can be all over the place. I'm a social butterfly. :) And as always, we're working on behaviors and manners. I'm doing a lot better! My favorite pastimes are doing to the dog park, sharing treats with my dad, socializing, and meeting new people, of course.

I'm working on my manners and behavior, which I am proud to say, I'm improving greatly. I'm also working my pretty tail off on not eating things off the ground. I don't do it... 90% of the time. :) I love playtime, sniffy walks, long naps, and peanut butter. Most of all, I have a passion for rawhides.

As always, I'm working on manners and behavior, along with recall. That's been kind of fun — that game involves a lot of yummy treats. I've also been going out lately, so I'm trying to get accustomed to strange sights and sounds.
I love long sniffy walks, playtime, romping at the dog park, and tugs are a lot of fun. I love any and all treats, but rawhides are my favorite.
