@Ave Paasuke Haha, I love that — turning those “rules and roadblocks” into fuel for creating something more flexible and fun. It really shows how well you understand both the dogs and the people working with them. Sounds like SAT isn’t just a sport, but a reflection of your philosophy. I’m curious — how have your dogs responded since you started shaping it this way?

@Ave Paasuke that's great

@Amanda Taulborg Wow, 🐾 Four Labs, a pit mix, and a diabetic alert Poodle — that’s impressive. I’d love to hear more about how you’re training the service dog; not many people get it right, and it’s inspiring to see your dedication.

@Amanda Taulborg That’s such an important distinction — training the dog is only half the story, making sure the recipient understands how to carry it forward is what makes it sustainable. I really like how you’ve built Cool Dog Skool around both accountability and community; that seems like the missing link for so many trainers and owners. Out of curiosity, what’s been the biggest breakthrough you’ve seen from members since starting it?
