Donating 150 life protecting devices to service dogs in training!

These are the kind of days that bring us the most joy!
Storytime 📚
We never expected to have a community on social media, but now that we do, our priority has always been to use it for good. So about a year ago, Katie and I began researching nonprofits we could bring into our Mission to Spread Smiles.
Enter ‪@WarriorCanineConnection‬ They train service dogs for veterans using a Mission Based Trauma Recovery model. I love this model because every dog helps dozens of veterans in the ~2-year training process before being paired with their veteran as a service dog.
On a recent visit to WCC, I noticed they use bully sticks for positive association training but didn't have Bow Wow Buddies to help prevent choking and intestinal blockage. So I reached out to our friends at ‪@bowwowlabs‬
We love Bow Wow Labs and often post about their products because they have the potential to save lives. But their response to our request made us love them even more!
They offered to supply 150 Bow Wow Buddies for all the WCC service dogs in training. This is huge because once the puppies are old enough, they go home with volunteer puppy raisers who have a challenging job and could use some time to relax. Plus, they committed to providing every WCC service dog a graduation give of a Bow Wow Buddy starter kit and a bully stick subscription!
So THANK YOU, Bow Wow Labs, for your generosity and dedication to keeping dogs safe.

This is CRAZY! I've watched many of your videos (your dogs are so cute), and my family is currently on dogs 3 and 4 from WCC! We have Hennings from the NFL litter and a dog named Byron that was released, but the trainers have agreed to let my mom try and help him get over his separation anxiety!

[@Nan-59]

I didn’t know about this bully stick holders. The last time I gave our dog a bully stick was the last time either of them have gotten a bully stick because he choked on it! 😢😮😮😮. Scared the crap out of me!

[@christiedecker2724]

I wish people would help those of us who are disabled and OWNER TRAIN our dogs for our service dog. I tried for program dogs...I'm not in a favored population (vet, child, etc.) to get a service dog. I trained my own Golden, and at nearly 14 years of age, this past January, he passed. I now have a new prospect pup and would love to have these to use, but the cost is way above what my Social Security Disability can do, especially with the cost of the pup being so high nowadays. Please consider helping those of us trying to owner train? Thank you!

[@4EverGr8ful1]

Praying it happens for you!! ❤🙏🦮

I'm a service dog handler myself. I trained my retired service dog and my puppy whose in training. I've never trained dogs before. I've had professionals say that they're better trained and behaved than most professionally trained dogs. Now, it's a mission to keep pets home or in pet friendly places. Because service dogs are federally protected. They also cost thousands of dollars and take 2 years to fully train.

Its so cute more video,s

[@PhoenixCreationsKaTyJs]

Looks a amazing idea, I first saw these when Chris gave one to Nala, I wish we could get them here in Scotland. My sprocker devours even the toughest chew in no time with the exception of the adventuro large stick she peels the outer part frost then gets at the inner, and chews the lot, it’s not like a chew stick. Meg doesn’t get them as she always tried to swallow the end and not chew it, I had to watch her like a hawk and get the end and she would look devastated, or I’d have to go fishing for it, icky! Those look perfect! Let’s hope one day they have a U.K. distributor. 😊😊😊

[@dawnlimachi6782]

I need help getting a service dog. I'm disabled and can't afford to pay $1000 dollars for training a dog. Please help.

Thanks!

Great.

[@Empathrepublic]

Productivity 👎 happiness 👍🏿

[@superpesrychlyjakblesk]

It's a shame that they can't send it to the Czech Republic. I also have 2 dogs, the first was a Golden Retriever and then an Australian Shepherd and they love chewy treats like this.
