All dogs, like humans, have good & bad days when learning something new. Same for our pups, though it usually lasts just a day or two.pic.twitter.com/z9lQa2uKX4
There are a million reasons why a dog has a bad day & our trainers must become doggy psychologists to figure out what will help pups.pic.twitter.com/iaeRpGiSUR
Sometimes a pup is bored & needs extra playtime, sometimes they need a little break, or it’s a minor medical condition like a food allergy.pic.twitter.com/pPaBPohhqB
For some dogs, after weeks of working w them, it’s clear the issue isn’t temporary & instead, this just isn’t the job they are meant for.pic.twitter.com/bBjPz8Ng2U
Lulu wasn’t interested in searching for explosives. Even when motivated w food & play, she was clearly no longer enjoying herself.pic.twitter.com/puvhDk1tRX
Our trainers’ top concern is physical & mental well-being of K9s. They made difficult decision & did what’s best for Lulu: stop her trainingpic.twitter.com/Ss9y9LpE9q
When a pup is removed or retires from our K9 program, the handler & their family is given the chance to adopt them & many do.pic.twitter.com/EMfua7zhbT
Lulu was adopted by her handler & now enjoys her days playing w his kids & a new friend, & sniffing out rabbits & squirrels in the backyard.pic.twitter.com/WOImM75P1D
We’ll miss Lulu, but it was right decision for her & we wish her all the best in her new life! http://bit.ly/2gQf3vk pic.twitter.com/Mbcr9C7wUY
It’s utterly AMAZING at the number of people who did not READ the thread before making comments. Like WHAT 


I’m trying to imagine a cat bomb squad and it’s the funniest thing I’ve imagined in a long time.
Cat bomb squad. Funny yes but also very smart. The 9 lives thing probably comes in very handy in that situation.
Well, now I’m just wondering if ALL cats aren’t CIA and part of a bomb squad. I mean, we’d never REALLY know.
OMG There really is a gif for everything
I have always said that I don’t trust cats - but I do admire them.
She’s a good dog CIA. @dog_rates
Props to the CIA social team for winning the Internet this week. 




It was an awesome thread and I just want to hug Lulu 
I loved her expressions in the photos. "I'm so over this."
Exactly. Can't believe the CIA made my morning!
