Today we have two special quest. Both are members of the Public Services sector as Nurses here in Wisconsin. That's not the only thing they have in common, they are both married to Law Enforcement Officers that just happen to be canine handlers. So what was it like for Chelsea Hall and Devan Nehls helping care for two working line Czech Shepherds in Yeti and Tek. What is it like having a retired canine live in the house that mentally thinks he can still work? Would they change anything? Is Chelsea excited for the day Yeti gets to retire? Give it a listen and let us know if your experience has been the same. 

Greg Peete founder of Battle Ground 22, NFL Offensive Guard for the New York Giants Ben Bredeson, Tiffany Smith and Jessie Smith of Jessiffany Canine Services talk about our new venture together to help as many first responders, veterans and gold star families as possible. Please give this podcast a listen and get to know this amazing man, this home grown Wisconsin football giant that has a heart for helping others. Trust me its worth your time.

This podcast is your opportunity to connect with Tiffany and I as we discuss the service dog program for our company. We also get into the background of how this started with Troops First Foundation and continues even today 13 years later.  We also highlight how we came to assist Battle Ground 22. We answer several questions about what makes a dog a good service candidate, what training is required, and frankly everything about what it takes for this operation to be success. AND WHY we do this at all. 

Its long but worth it.
