Every Dog Has A Purpose - Ryker's Is Not To Be A Service Dog

Saw this video posted the other day by Double H Canine Academy. In addition to regular obedience training they also work with protection and service dogs.

Meet Ryker, who despite their best efforts will need to find a new line of work.

Lol, some dogs just have a thing - in Ryker’s case it’s tennis balls!

Ryker, he looks like my two labs during the “throwing hour” in my backyard which corresponds with my happy hour. It is all ball or nothing for sixty minutes. My one reprieve is my refill period after 30 minutes.
Lucy made it into the pool tonight twice after errant throws.
Sweet Pea tore up some of the new rye lawn chasing a ball.

Funny, but I'm skeptical that was seriously a dog in training for service. I'm not a professional trainer, but think he'd have already mastered self-control, if he was capable of doing so, on much simpler tasks before they advanced to those kinds of challenges.

Service dog for the USTA maybe.
Could see him at the US Open or something.

Almost pizzed myself that was so funny

“I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I'm a cat person but I would make Ryker my roomate in a heartbeat. He might not be service dog material but his future owner is in for a treat (and a ride).

My gosh. LOL. It's like they filmed my dog flunking out of his expensive ass training.

Thanks for the laugh!

I forwarded that video to my future SIL who works for a service dog training company
