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
Thank you for tweeting this!!
She’s a lovely dog. Great to see you understand animals and don’t force them to do what they don’t want. She’ll prob make a great guard dog.
You’re so lucky, all I got was an M-16.
I love dogs, much more than I like the M-16.
A member of the deep state? Political appointee or civil servant? I want to know. lol
