Colin

  Colin is a boy of few words so the fact that Stann takes simple commands off the ipad is extremely helpful.    Stann assists Colin in the neighborhood to return to the correct home.  Stann also does a full escort off lead. One night Colin was having a medical emergency, and Stann woke up the family so they could get Colin to the hospital.   He is considered one of our heroes.

In this photo, Colin and Stann demonstrate a perfect escort.

Matt

Matty was known for bolting; he loved to run and he was fast! Cookie was faster and she learned his hiding spots. Matty’s vocabulary grew from just few words to several words. His speech and language therapist are convinced that Cookie was the catalyst to his vocabulary. Matty was running toward the river one afternoon, and guess who interrupted his bolting and kept him from going in… yes, Cookie! Matty is a non-swimmer despite having experience with water, Cookie assessed the situation and pinned Matty until help arrived. Now that’s thinking on your feet Cookie. We salute you.

Chloe

When Chloe came to GGG she had just been hospitalized and her safety was of the utmost importance to her doting mom. Her mom asked me, can you help her stay safe? I simply replied I will try. Let’s start with our intensive bonding program and teach her to be a safe handler. In the meantime the pup will learn skills such as accompanying her into the community and calm her when she is anxious. With Sweethearts assistance, Chloe has not been re-hospitalized and she has not put herself in harm’s way. Of course, we can’t guarantee what the future will hold but we do know that sweetheart will be there to calm, soothe and love Chloe as well as locate her on demand!
