Pupdate: ADW Mabel is learning so much and doing so well! She loves going on trainer outings around town, where she gets to explore different public spaces. She especially loves her adventures when she's with her friends Kat, Mara, and ADW Hawke.

Everyone's going back to school, including our very own ADW Salty! Salty started 10th grade with his person, Ellie, this month and we couldn't be more proud. He even has his very own locker! We think he deserves a 4.0, at the very least. Way to go, Ellie and Salty!

Summer is over and so is ADW's summer camp! Kids in summer camp learn how to train dogs using positive reinforcement and cues. Campers build community, practice empathy and responsibility, and learn leadership skills. We run in-school and after-school programs all year long, and you can make sure to sign up for summer camp next year!

ADW Dolly lost her namesake yesterday. Dolly is a wonderful assistance dog and we think Ms. Parton would've been very proud of her. Dolly's human, Bev, said "She's sweet and caring, just like Dolly, but she's still working on the hair thing."

Hey! Did you know you can sign up to be a Puppy Raiser for ADW? Puppy Raisers take dogs between 8 months and 2 years old into their homes for bonding, socialization, and to get used to a home environment. They learn how to use our cues and go on outings with the other Puppy Raisers and their dogs. It's an awesome community and a great opportunity to get involved in the essential training that goes into each and every ADW dog!

ADW Talia and ADW Hawke got some well-deserved pup cups after being the very goodest in the grocery store. Can't be sure, but we think they enjoyed them. 🍦 Our dogs go on field trips all over town throughout their training to make sure they are prepared for any environment!
