Submitted by: Bonnie & Steve S Remy (short for Belle's Place Remington Steele) is a five month old (60+ pound) Great Pyrenees. He is currently enrolled in puppy kindergarten out here in the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduation, we are having him go through the Therapy Dog training. Great Pyrenees are one of the perfect dog breeds for this job. They are mellow, gentle beings that really enjoy meeting people, especially children. Children especially enjoy cuddling with him because of his fluff. This photo was taken at the Fremont Family Kite Day festival in Fremont, CA on May 19, 2012. I think people thought WE were an attraction as so many people actually lined up to pat him. He is wearing the vest we purchased from Leerburg for the first time.

Submitted by: Chris B The dog’s name is Dexter, he is one year and one month old. He is in dual purpose training, detection and protection and doing very well I might add.

42. Dante

Submitted by: Joanne D This is our dog Dante. I've had numerous dogs, but this dog has every quality one would expect to see with this breed and more. He was loyal, compassionate, kind, funny, intelligent and high drive. He was very kind to our aging sheltie who had difficulty chewing raw hide. Dante would soften up the raw hide by chewing it and trade with the sheltie so it was soft enough for him to enjoy. Superior watchdog yet friendly. A magnificent animal who succumbed to bone cancer far too early at 6 years of age. Dante passed away shortly after this photo was taken in February. He was 6 years old. The qualities of this dog were just amazing. Loyal, sweet, kind, compassionate, high drive, patient. He was so kind to our older sheltie by chewing his rawhide treat to soften and then giving it to the sheltie who could no longer do it for himself due to loss of some teeth. He loved to practice obedience training and take long walks. He was everything a fine Belgian should be. Our guardian angel.

Submitted by: Ellen G We rescued Becka, a Yellow Lab / Golden mix, from an owner who kept giving away his dogs. At 9 mos old she was overweight, belly crawling and submissively urinating so were thrilled to get her out of there. I followed Ed’s instructions about becoming a pack leader and how to introduce a new dog to a home with a cat, as well as learning how to feed raw. Most people can’t believe how well-behaved she is at her age, nor how white her teeth still are! As you can see she is happy and healthy. Thank you for all your great advice.

Submitted by: ChristaLynn D The GSD is Virgil, he will be 5yrs old on June 28 and has yet to show any signs of slowing down. I've had him for about a year (as he was a rehomed dog I found on an online classified site). I must say, I hit the jackpot with him - he's all I could ask for in a dog! The GSP is Rebel, he'll be a year old in June. He's one of my training clients and has come a long way since I first started working with him at 12wks. Although his personality is completely opposite of Virgil's (the GSD) he is an awesome dog who has a zest for life like no other dog I've met!

58. Dabby the Beagle

Submitted by: Trish P This is a photo of my beagle puppy. Her name is Dabby, she's 8 months old, and just LOVES to go out on the boat with us! Her next favorite thing to do is a game called "video game," in which (at night), she plays tag with a laser light. If she touches the light with her paw, she has earned the opportunity to silently chase the light, and if she has not touched the light she can still chase but barks while chasing. We named her Dabby because she sometimes gets Crabby and to lighten her mood we sing her a silly song we made up called "Crabby Dab."

59. Tug & Lulu the English Bulldogs

Submitted by: Dena F Here are two pictures of our English Bulldogs, Tug and Lulu. Lulu is the white one, she is two years old. Tug is only 7 months old, and has already outgrown his sister! They are mischievous, affectionate, and always ready for a game. They especially love a game we call "blanket monster" where one of them hides under a blanket or sheet and then waves their head around, growing and looking for something to attack. The other one then mock attacks them on the outside of the blanket. It's ridiculously funny. The other day I snapped them playing blanket monster with a pillow. Lulu kept hiding underneath a big pillow, the best that she could, and Tug would attack the pillow. Then he dove under too. I grabbed my camera and sure enough, out popped both of their wrinkled faces. So cute. Never a dull moment with these two. They swim, go to doggy daycare, and chase balls. They think they are Labrador Retrievers! The second picture, where they are just sitting side by side, was taken one evening when they disappeared upstairs together quietly. After a bit of time passed and we didn't hear anything, we got suspicious and started up the stairs to find them. Sure enough, they came out quickly, sat at the top of the stairs as if to say, "What? We didn't do anything! And whatever you find in that bedroom - we don't know nothing about it!" Needless to say they had gotten hold of a box of tissue and the room was covered with tiny, tiny bits of tissue! Fun times!

After many months of constant training and determination on my part Charlie is now the most loving dog any person could ask for. He's my best friend, and I can't imagine my life without him. Not a day goes by that he doesn't make me laugh with his goofy antics. He loves the snow, the rain and swimming in his pool even in the middle of winter as the picture shows!

87. Dexter the Bullmastiff

Submitted by: Lonni B This is Dexter our bullmastiff. In this photo he is about 8 weeks but is now a 110lb bundle of love. He is the most intuitive dog I have ever owned and always knows his audience whether it is a bunch of little kids, an elderly person or a big guy who he can wrestle with. It's hard to pick a favorite thing about him but I guess it would have to be his trustworthiness in any situation with any person or any animal. Dexter is a real Leerburg dog. He has toys, treats, his harnesses, and much more from you folks. And he definitely benefits from the training DVDs and Cindy always answering my questions!!!! I think, silly as it may sound, that my favorite thing from you has been the poo pouch. I don't know why but i get a real kick out of it!!

Photo 2: I acquired Busa through a fellow rescuer, I had no intention of keeping her but she was very hard to house break, I didn't feel right about giving her to someone knowing she will potty in the house, now she uses an indoor potty tray and I love her to pieces.

96. Biscuit

Submitted by: Terry D My Dog's name is Biscuit, he is 5 years old, I rescued him in 2010. Biscuit is a special dog, this is a story how I rescued a miniature pinscher and he rescues me back daily. When I first saw Biscuit at a June 2010 rescue fest, I fell in love w/ him. Little did I know what was coming? The first night he tried to bite me, so I took him to be evaluated in case he was so aggressive he had to be put down. Well, after being evaluated and almost biting the two evaluators, they said w/ hard work this dog could be great, he was showing fear biting. I trained and practiced w/ him daily, sometime three times a day or whenever we went out, I challenged him w/ inactive toys, and kept his mind busy. I was able to get him certified as a Canine Good Citizen by October of 2010 from the American Kennel Club. We were starting to train for sniffing cars, search and rescue etc. Then in March of 2011, I became very ill w/ multiple issues. Two main issues, Biscuit picked up on and before I know I am going to get dizzy or my legs start shaking, he gives me signs, when to sit, when to stop. He even woke me up @ 1:30 am kept nudging me and shortly Bells Palsy started. Biscuit is now a Full Service Dog and is registered w/ the Department of Defense, the ADA and recognized by the Department of Transportation for his actions. His alert actions have been seen by doctors, PT, and the trainers of Komplete K-9. I have been training w/ "A Breed Apart" and "Komplete K-9" (both work together). He even plays with his 6 month old cat brother, they romp like two dogs. He is rescuing me all the time. He won’t even go by the garage door, if he thinks I can’t drive even though I am trying to go somewhere, so I don’t go.
