Assistance Dogs can play a vital role in a veteran's rehabilitation, helping them to reconnect with their family, friends and community.

A Defence Community Dog is a lifeline that provides purpose, builds confidence and assures their veteran that they are seen, heard, and supported on their journey, every step of the way. 🐾

If you are, or someone you know is, an ADF veteran who needs physical and emotional support for mood, anxiety and depressive conditions, including PTSD, please visit dcdogs.com.au/apply to find out more.

"A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step", and while your journey may not be that long, DCD dogs are ready to take the next step with you.

Improving the lives of Veterans. One paw at a time. 🐾 💜

Inside the mind of a dog

We took our dog out on her rumor campaign today, spreading tales of her adventures to every tree and bush in the forest. And guess what? Her sit-stays are now so on point, the squirrels are planning to hire her as a meditation coach!

Our dog, Rumor, has shown incredible progress in her training over the last seven weeks. She’s mastering commands and becoming more well-behaved every day. Plus, she’s grown so much! Just look at this photo of her when she was only nine weeks old. She’s come a long way!

Today we took Rumor, out for an epic game of fetch. She chased that ball like it was made of bacon! Now, she’s out cold on the backyard grass, dreaming of her next adventure.

Careful and thoughtful introduction of our puppy to water has successfully led to Rumor, developing confidence and enjoying swimming without fear. The consistent and positive reinforcement throughout the process has ensured that Rumor responds immediately to recall commands, even while in the water. Here’s a recap of how this progression unfolded:

1. Initial Introduction: we began by creating positive associations with water, allowing Rumor to explore and play near water without any pressure.
2. Gradual Exposure: Gradually we introduced Rumor to shallow water, letting her get used to the sensation of being wet while still feeling secure.
3. Building Confidence: As Rumor became more comfortable, we moved to slightly deeper water, always staying close by to provide reassurance and support.
4. Swimming Skills: we encouraged short swims by using toys and rewards, and possibly used a dog life vest to aid Rumor in building her swimming confidence.
5. Recall Training: ensured Rumor had a strong recall command on dry land before practicing it in shallow water. Slowly increased the distance and depth, reinforcing recall with positive reinforcement.
6. Reinforcement: Regular practice in various water environments helped solidify Rumor’s confidence and responsiveness to recall commands, ensuring she felt safe and enjoyed her time in the water.

Through our dedication and consistent training, Rumor now approaches water without fear and responds promptly to recall commands, making swimming a fun and stress-free activity for both of us.
