The Story Behind the Name
When we began the truly epic journey of training and placing Service Dogs, we decided to do something different. We wanted to approach finding our dogs in a new way. But how can we find suitable dogs to take on the immense responsibility of being a Service Dog? How can we choose from an ocean of pups? What are we looking for? The answer soon became very clear: Head and Heart! The Head is the intelligence, problem-solving, focus, and communication skills. While these are incredible attributes, they are not enough to make a Service Dog. They also need Heart, the courage to be calm in any situation, the drive to do anything their person needs, and most importantly, incredible empathy; such empathy that they can and will perform tasks without needing to be told because that bond has grown so strong. So when people ask us how we train such amazing animals, we smile and say it was the dogs all along, their Head and Heart.
