Hey, my name is Von. I'm a 2-year-old adorable yellow lab who has recently moved to CTF North. I love it over here because I get showered with affection, attention, and yes lots of yummy treats. I also have a new family, J.J., Rob K., and Alfonso who all adore me. I love to play, I love learning “like me,” and I love to cuddle next to my people.

This month I have learned sooo much. My handlers keep taking me around food on the ground and yet they keep telling me "it's not yours.'' I don’t get it, it's on the floor isn't the food supposed to be up for grabs? I guess not because I don't ever win. Sometimes when they are not looking, I do sneak a bit of the delicious bread that is scattered throughout the yard. I have also worked on my retrieving skills which are actually getting better by the day. Now I can even open up doors to get items for my guy J.J. who I love tremendously.

I enjoy going over things too! It seems like my handlers want to build my confidence yet I feel my confidence is through the roof!

When I moved to CTF North, I met a friend. He's so awesome, his name is Cubby. He has long yellow hair and he wakes me up every morning. He leaves this month and I'm really gonna miss him.

We are continuing with making on our manners this month. We will also be working on other important behaviors and we’re going to make those a daily routine. I love learning new things because my dad makes things so fun! Well, I’ll talk to everyone soon!

Papa Mike really takes great care of me. We are always on the phone with each other and we are teaching each other new things daily. We are very patient with each other and we continue to work on our manners and behaviors each day. We have also been doing a lot of leash walking so I can be the best service dog.

When I’m not in class, I like to relax in my bed. Relaxing is just as important as learning. I love to play with my best friend and brother, Zeus. We love to play together and chill. My favorite snack is peanut butter! Well, I have to go play now. Talk to everyone soon!

We are always working on my manners and behaviors, we can always improve on those. Sometimes I get so excited when I see people but then I remember that I have to have manners. I love people but I know I can do better!

I’ve been getting a lot of one-on-one playtime with my dad. I love cuddling and relaxing as well! I also enjoy playing and matching the colored plastic balls. I’m getting pretty good at that. Besides playing some tug or catch I also love playing with all my other puppy friends, especially Zeus. My favorite snacks are carrots and peanut butter! Well, I’ll talk to everyone soon!

Hi everyone,

My dad and I have been working on teaching me how to walk on the leash without pulling. I don't mean to pull but I think I can get better at it! I know I also have to work on not barking at smaller dogs. Dad and I have been working hard to get me on the right track. I know that together we can make major improvements.

I love spending time with my dad Mike and cuddling with him. I love playing tug with the rope. I like playing with Jeanie, Max, and Lobo. We get along very well! My favorite snacks are peanut butter, carrots, and jerky!
