Wearing her harness and Service Dog bags with her official SD documents, food, treats, and toys inside, this Service Dog puppy, Vallie, is training to walk on a moving sidewalk. With a glob of peanut butter right by her sensitive nose to treat herself on, she is encouraged to keep walking on a treadmill.

Vallie is a very happy energetic puppy who LOVES to train with Liz, and she want to keep on doing the training session even after Liz stops. Liz and Vallie also gave us a demonstration on how she works in tunnels and slides for find and rescue jobs, and to play with children on a slide. Vallie kept returning to the tunnels and slide even after the training session ended. SHE LOVES IT!
