There's one skill I teach before every airport visit—and it's not heel.
It's not stay.
It's not down.
It's not even "leave it."
It's focus and engagement.
Because when your dog chooses to check in with YOU instead of staring at every suitcase, traveler, child, food court, or barking dog...
Everything else gets easier.
✈️ TSA security
✈️ Busy airport terminals
✈️ Crowded boarding areas
✈️ Long flight delays
The dogs that handle these situations best have learned one important lesson:
👉 "No matter what's happening around me, checking in with my handler matters most."
One of my favorite ways to build this skill is through the Clamshell Game.

The superfood most dog owners overlook? 💚

Spirulina is packed with nutrients that may support:

✅ Digestive health
✅ Gut immunity
✅ Healthy aging
✅ Liver function
✅ Immune health

One study found dogs receiving spirulina experienced:

📈 65% increase in gut immunity and digestive health
📉 39% reduction in oxidative stress

For reference:

🐶 20 lbs = ¼ tsp
🐶 40 lbs = ½ tsp
🐶 60 lbs = ¾ tsp
🐶 80 lbs = 1 tsp

I always recommend starting slowly and choosing a high-quality, tested source.

One of the most common questions I get is: “What’s the best breed for a service dog?”
And here’s the honest answer… It depends.

I just published a new blog post breaking down:
• Which breeds are commonly successful as service dogs
• Why Labrador and Golden Retrievers are often chosen
• When smaller breeds can be a great fit
• Why temperament testing is more important than breed alone

If you’re in the “thinking about getting a puppy” stage — or wondering if your current dog could qualify — this is a must-read.

Airports expose weak training.
The airplane seat footprint test — can your dog pass it?
If your dog can’t tuck, don’t book yet.

Before you book that flight, ask yourself:
Can your dog calmly:
• Settle under a chair extendedly
• Stay tucked within a small seat footprint
• Ignore rolling suitcases + food smells
• Remain neutral to strangers walking inches away
If not — you’re not flight ready yet.

How to Actually Train the Tuck
✔️ Start with a box or suitcase
Reward: look → two paws → four paws inside
✔️ Add a “Down” inside the box
✔️ Gradually use smaller boxes to refine compactness

Then generalize:
• Practice in the car footwell
• Teach “Under” with a mat target
• Add chairs + tight spaces
• Build duration before distractions

Short sessions. High-value rewards. Calm energy.
This is how you create a dog that fits confidently — not accidentally.

If your dog can’t tuck yet — don’t panic. Train.
My Ready for Takeoff™ Service Dog Travel Training Course walks you step-by-step through:
✔️ Foundational obedience
✔️ Public access skills
✔️ Task reliability
✔️ Real-world airline prep
