Duke is making outstanding progress in his training. He has now mastered an advanced move--called "post." He starts about 3 feet in front of Cameron, and then walks around Cameron and ends up sitting on Cam's left side--all with just one verbal command.
Duke had his first outings this weekend. He went to Albertsons, Target, church, and In-and-Out Burger (three different days). He behaved like a perfect gentleman, staying by Cameron's side the entire time that he walked through the stores. He stayed down during the entire preaching part of the service, without a peep. He also stayed down the entire time we ate lunch at the restaurant. These are tremendous accomplishments for a four month old puppy--especially for his first times out.

Duke passed week 2 of training and is almost done with week three. He knows sit,down,come,stay,automatic sit(sits when i stop walking), sit for examination,walk on a leash,stays by my side when i run,walk normally, or slowly,stay while i walk around him,down stay,stand stay,and lets go on a leash.He also got his service dog vest.

Duke has now passed week one and now is on week 2 of training. He is also playing with kc.

Duke has done very well in training. He has only been here 3 days and he knows sit, down, and come. He is also walking on a leash pretty good.

This his him asleep.

Peanut Detection Service Dog

New Puppy in Training: DUKE

Hi, my name is Cameron Meyer, and I am a sophomore in high school. I have a severe peanut allergy, and the doctors tell me that I have the worst form of this allergy. Peanut allergies are different than other food allergies, because they can be airborne. I can have a severe reaction from just being next to someone who is eating something with peanuts. I always have a severe reaction if I actually come in contact with peanuts. I once had a reaction at school which made it hard for me to breathe. My mom had to rush to the school office to administer an Epi-pen, and then an ambulance took me to the hospital. I had no idea where I was exposed to peanuts that day.
There are no medicines that I can take to prevent reactions, but we have discovered another way to reduce my risks of exposure, and make it safer for me to go to school, church, camps, movies, etc. Our new discovery is a PEANUT DETECTION SERVICE DOG. Dogs can be used to detect seizures, illegal narcotics, cancer, and now--peanuts. My dog will be trained to alert me if any peanut product is nearby. His smelling ability is over 300 times as strong as mine. He will also be trained to get help and to get my medica tion, if I become unconscious.
Now, the point of this letter. I am asking for your help. Well trained service dogs are very expensive--$7,500. Would you prayerfully consider helping me financially, so that I can obtain this dog? Noelle’s Angel Dogs is a non-profit organization that trains service dogs, including peanut detection dogs. While a service dog will not remove all risks, he will reduce them greatly. This will allow me to live a more normal life, and go many places that I cannot now go.
