Sherry Woodward is a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA) who has worked at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah since 1996.

However, her real accomplishment has been the founding of Canines With Careers a groundbreaking program she started to take rescued dogs with the right personalities and train them to be service dogs, animal-assisted therapy dogs, educational support, emotional support, and search and rescue dogs.

Here is a short video of Ninja, one of the career dogs in training, working in Woodward’s kitchen for her breakfast.

What made you start this program at Best Friends?

SW:  I want to save more shelter/rescue dogs and enrich more human lives, we have saved at least one soldier, too. A veteran that has one of our dogs has the story to tell of still being suicidal after he received his dog and how living with his dog helped him to put his gun down on his worst day.

2

Why makes it special?

SW: We see the results, we tell the stories, and it really does save lives!

Do you know if any other shelters or rescues have adopted a program like this?

SW: None like we have, I do work with over 500 individual trainers that are involved in helping with their efforts. Some of those are working with shelters all of them are working with shelter/rescue dogs instead of breeding.

To date, how many dogs have you placed from the program?

SW: We started in mid 2009 and over 1,200 have been placed across the country, 58 myself personally.

3

What is the message you want to get across to people who may not be aware of your program?

SW: Many shelter/rescue dogs can be career dogs, they can often take less time to screen, select, place and train. Everyone can help with this work – foster, take dogs on outings, sleepovers, learn to help with their training, buy supplies that are needed.

How do you choose the dogs to participate?

SW: I have created an assessment tool that I use and share (teach) across the country.

4

About how long are they in the program?

SW: With all dogs that are placed through Best Friends (the 58 mentioned above) the commitment is for life, we support the teams with grant funds as we can, we will take back any dog at any time. We support with training long term. The people I work with across the country have a variety of different commitments.

Is their adoption fee higher?

SW: The rates vary if the dog comes from me the cost can be waived, if the dog is through any other shelter the cost will vary most adoption fees are under $200.00 some rescues may be slightly more.

(Editor side note: a “traditional” service dog anywhere from $10,000-40,000)

Do you have a waiting list?

SW: Yes always! I pass many adopters to people I work with that are closer to where they live.

If someone is interested in getting one of your dogs, who should they contact?

Helping Dogs & People

“According to the Institute of Medicine, more than 40 million people in the U.S. have a mental or physical disability, and only about 1 percent of the people in need have service or support dogs.” (bestfriends.org).

The Canines With Careers program is not just saving dogs lives, but is helping fill a tremendous need for service dogs that the breeders just can’t keep up with.

5

The dogs are chosen for their willingness to work and temperament, among other things. Because they are, for the most part, already adults, it takes Best Friend’s less time to get a dog ready for work than it does in the traditional system, where dogs are raised from puppies with a 50 percent failure rate

We especially loved that video of a Boxer wearing a costume and barking at his own reflection in the mirror! And let’s not forget that video of a cute Corgi pup who saw herself in the mirror for the first time! That was so adorable!

Now this dog seems to be having issues with the mirror too. He’s looking for his ball, but all he sees is the ball’s reflection on the mirror. He couldn’t see that the ball is just right beside him! He keeps on scratching the mirror to get his ball! Poor doggy! Watch the hilarious video below!

Awww…poor thing! But I’m pretty sure he’s gonna learn about the mirror sooner or later.

Do you have any videos of your dog having issues with the mirror? Share your videos with us! Or share your stories in the comment section below!

Letting your dog swim in pools or lakes in an excellent way to keep them exercised and cool. If you’re lacking motivation, let this adorable Greyhound get your move on and take your dog out for a swim! Sookie, the pup in this video, absolutely loves the water and isn’t going to let anyone stop her as he has some fun! Seeing her excitement makes us want to jump right in there with her. We’re still laughing at her joyous romp! Whatever access to water you have, be it your hose or the beach, letting your dog cool off while exercising is a great way to keep them safe and fit during summer. At least as long as they enjoy it as much as Sookie does!

Don’t get me wrong, they will be happy tears! But tears nonetheless… For any dog lover, the thought of losing a fur baby is simply devastating. For this elderly mother, that horrifying thought became a reality, when her energetic black dog went missing several weeks before Mother’s Day. Incredibly, her children, thanks to help from social media followers who located the pup, were able to reunite the sweet pair. Personally, my heart dropped while watching this…it’s a combination of relief and shock and just utter love that erupts between this dog and its owner, an owner who had probably accepted the fact that she would never see her companion again. What’s even more amazing? Her kids coordinated the reunion the day before Mother’s Day! What a happy weekend that must have been. Enjoy this beautiful moment: Simply incredible. Such a thoughtful way to surprise their mother, and such an amazing bond this woman and her pup clearly share. It really took my breath away. What did you think of the video?

Not only do we get to see how happy these dogs are to see their loved ones again, we can truly appreciate how much they do love and care about us. Molly is an 8.5-year-old Golden Retriever who hasn’t seen her mom in quite some time, as she is a United States Air Force Captain that has been in Afghanistan. Once she returns home, Molly greets her at the airport and the excitement shared by both of them is overwhelming. We’re as happy to see them reunite as they are to see each other, because we know all too well how much dogs and people can love each other. Do you have any videos of your dogs greeting you after you’ve been gone a long time? We would love to see them, so please share them with us in the comments section!
