✨ It's so much more than just dog training, and there's so much more to the role of assistance dogs than many realize. For those who haven't experienced challenges like social anxiety, PTSD, or conditions that make social settings daunting, it can be tough to grasp the profound impact these incredible dogs have.

The transformations we witness in our handlers are nothing short of miraculous. Many of our clients haven't felt comfortable leaving their homes in years, yet with their assistance dogs by their side, they find joy, calm, and relaxation in places they once avoided. 🐾💖

It's heartwarming to see these changes and to know that we're making a meaningful difference in their lives. We're proud to be part of this journey, helping individuals reclaim their confidence and happiness. Together, we're doing the right thing for the right reasons. 🌟 "

🐾 The Importance of Weight Management in Dogs 🐾

Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for our canine companions. Overweight dogs are at risk for a variety of health issues, including joint problems, heart disease, and diabetes. This is especially important for dogs involved in sports, high obedience training, and assistance work. Here’s why:

1. Joint Health: Extra weight puts added strain on your dog's joints, increasing the risk of arthritis and other joint-related issues.

2. Heart Health: Just like in humans, excess weight can lead to heart disease in dogs, impacting their overall longevity and quality of life.

3. Diabetes: Overweight dogs are more prone to developing diabetes, which can require lifelong management and affect their daily activities.

4. Performance: For dogs participating in sports or high obedience training, maintaining an optimal weight is crucial for peak performance and stamina.

5. Assistance Dogs: These dogs need to be in top physical condition to perform their tasks effectively and safely.

Ensure your dog gets regular exercise and a balanced diet. Regular vet check-ups can help keep track of your dog's weight and health. A fit dog is a happy dog! 🐶❤️

🐾 Dog training is an ongoing journey of learning and growth! 🎓🐶 At Alpha Lykos, we understand the joy of teaching your dog new skills. But we also emphasize the importance of reliability. We want you to have the confidence to ask your dog to perform a command, knowing they will respond promptly and accurately.

Perfecting skills and constantly expanding their repertoire is our goal. We believe in quality over quantity, focusing on becoming masters of the skills we teach our dogs. This dedication ensures that each command is executed with precision and reliability.

One of our yearly members, Buddy, and his handler have been working hard on tightening up his commands. We are thrilled to witness Buddy's outstanding growth in just a few months. Their dedication and commitment are truly inspiring!

Join us at Alpha Lykos, where we prioritize the development of both dogs and their owners. Let's work together to unlock the full potential of your four-legged friend! 🏆🐾

🐾 Sundays are for prepping enrichment! 🐾

Who says preparing enrichment for your pup has to be time-consuming? In just 20 minutes, I whipped up three days' worth of enrichment for my three dogs. These goodies are now patiently waiting in the freezer for their turn to shine!

Using scream and licki Mat products, I created a variety of delicious treats that will serve as substitute meals for my dogs throughout the week. Not only does this save me time, but it also gives my pups the mental stimulation they need to work for their food.
