My current service dog in training is a Rottweiler puppy named Charlee. I rescued her from a shelter when she was eight weeks old. Here is a video of her the day that I met her.

I'm raising her to be a working partner for a woman who uses a wheelchair. As I've been training her, I've been making short videos showing how she's coming along. The original purpose of the videos was so that her future partner can see her grow and follow her training as it progresses, but since I started posting them people have been emailing me to ask more specific questions about service dog training.
I thought that I'd post them here since there have been some discussions about raising service dog puppies. Plus she's just so cute. Keep in mind that the videos were not intended to go into great detail about teaching the specific commands, but rather they were just for her future "mom" to watch and enjoy. I'd be happy to answer any questions about her training.
Here are the current videos. I hope that you enjoy them.

I'd also like to mention that these were the first videos of this type that I'd ever attempted so I learned as I went on. I'm trying to be more aware of camera angles, lighting, sound, obvious glitches in editing, and other aspects of video making. I think in the end I'm a better dog trainer than cameraman.
