One of the smallest labradoodles ever in the program — and one of the mightiest. Eddie has already accomplished everything asked of him, including a nightmare-interruption task he performs to perfection.

Eddie has entered the final phase of his training program. Now paired with Frank, an Army veteran, he is focused on refining key task queues and strengthening their incredible bond. To keep his instincts sharp throughout the training process, Eddie has been working at a local 911 communications center, where he has played an important role in helping dispatchers manage and mitigate the daily stressors of their demanding work environment.

Caldwell is turning 1 year old in July. He and his Veteran are working on level two, the advanced tasks and focus with distraction in public places. Caldwell's Veteran has 4 children so they are working on integrating high energy with respect and patience (both the kids and the dog).

Shadow is making great strides in obedience and continues to build a strong, steady foundation. He's growing in confidence in new environments and is doing everything he can to prepare for his future veteran handler.

Current reps include blocking and other protective-task work — see the clip for a look at him on the job.
