We are so grateful for the generous donation from Bob and Diane we received yesterday that will help fund our next team.
In the last year, we have trained and donated 4 service dogs.
If you would like to donate to US HONOR DOGS, we can accept checks, cash and Venmo.
If you know someone who has served, who has a physical disability, please have them contact us. We love helping improve the lives of those who have given so much!

Dogs like Ellie that act aggressive are almost ALWAYS in a state of over stimulation.
They have an excitement threshold- and once that limit has been surpassed they are no longer hearing, thinking or processing. They are just reacting. And that reaction can be a bite.
The term “auditory exclusion” is when the brain is only operating on the senses that are being excited.
I use the game Red Light/Green Light to amp up a dog into a frenzy of sound and animation-
And then drop my energy and freeze- to teach the dog to mimic my levels- read the room- to HEAR and SEE and REGULATE themselves.
This takes practice for the dog and for the handler to learn- if you try to tug the toy away- you’re still playing.
If you shout or get tense- you’re still playing. And YOU are reacting.
Tug is NOT a bad game for aggressive dogs as we’ve been told. It is a great way to establish boundaries and rules of engagement.
