Meet My Gang: A Trio of Love and Wisdom

🐢 Meet Bleu: Our Heartwarming Companion



Bleu, a charming soul who turned six in December, found her way into our lives during a challenging time. Unfortunately, she lost her handler and one of my partner's best friends in a tragic accident last August. Since then, Bleu has been adjusting to a new chapter with us, and we're making slow but steady progress in helping her through the grieving process.

Despite the hurdles, Bleu has seamlessly integrated into our furry family, forming strong bonds with Diesal and Radar. The trio, together, get on like a house on fire. Bleu's sweet nature and exceptional balance make her an ideal stooge dog, especially when assisting reactive or anxious pups during training sessions.

As Bleu continues to settle into her new home, we're excited about the prospect of her becoming a therapy dog. Her warm demeanor and neutral attitude towards both dogs and people make her a natural fit for spreading joy and comfort. You can often spot Bleu joining Radar and me at our weekly fun sports club, where she adds her own touch of enthusiasm to the mix. Here's to Bleu – a heartwarming companion, a source of strength, and a beautiful spirit lighting up our days.


🐢 Introducing Radar: Our Gentle Soul



Radar, the youngest member of our furry clan, is set to celebrate his second birthday in August. A true mama's boy, Radar has a heartwarming personality much like Diesal, embodying a lovely nature and a laid-back demeanor. Learning from Diesal, who has been a remarkable mentor, Radar has absorbed invaluable lessons, shaping him into the gentle soul he is today.

While still in the learning phase, Radar excels in his interactions with other dogs, displaying a neutral and friendly disposition. Occasionally, a surprise encounter might make him bark, but his overall temperament is one of warmth and acceptance. Although a bit reserved and less confident than Diesal, Radar's endearing qualities shine through, making him a wonderful companion for both dogs and humans alike.

Radar isn't just a beloved family member; he also plays a crucial role as a therapy dog, joining Diesal in regular visits to nursing homes and spreading joy to residents. His calm and neutral nature extends to his work as a stooge dog, assisting in the training of dogs dealing with reactivity or anxiety. Together, we embark on small training sessions and share delightful moments at our fun sports club. Radar is not just a dog; he's a beacon of comfort, learning, and joy in our lives. Here's to Radar – our gentle and loving companion, always ready to brighten our days.


🐢 Meet Diesal: Our Wise Companion



Diesal, our gentle giant, is approaching his 10th birthday in March. A true dad's boy, Diesal has been the epitome of tranquility throughout his years with us. He's not just a dog; he's a seasoned traveler who has explored the nooks and crannies of Europe, accompanying us on countless adventures in our motorhome.

Unfazed by the hustle and bustle of the world, Diesal's laid-back nature extends to his disinterest in other dogs or people—he's in a league of his own. Since the tender age of 2, Diesal has been a therapy dog, bringing comfort to nursing homes, universities, mental health drop-in centers, and beyond. His remarkable calmness has made him an exceptional stooge dog in my training sessions, especially for reactive or anxious dogs who find solace in his relaxed presence.

Diesal has not only been a source of joy but also a wise teacher, guiding both me and Radar on this journey. Although he's entered a more relaxed phase due to arthritis in his front legs, Diesal continues to inspire us with his resilience. Regular visits to hydrotherapy, chiropractic sessions, and acupuncture are part of his routine, ensuring his comfort and well-being.

Diesal is more than just a dog; he's the reason behind the inception of our German Shepherd training club and the foundation of my walking and training business. As we celebrate his remarkable journey and the wisdom he imparts, we are grateful for every moment shared with this wise and cherished companion. Here's to Diesal – our beacon of serenity and the pawprint that started it all.
