Pippa: Gluten Detection Dog in Training

Pippa: 14 Weeks Old

"When I first began exploring the idea of training a gluten detection dog, I had an introductory call with Kari where she walked me through the entire process—from what to look for in a breed to how to identify a reputable breeder for service work. Her guidance was invaluable as I navigated the breeder selection process, and she ultimately referred me to the breeder I chose.

After waiting nearly a year for my litter, Kari coordinated scent testing and even reviewed each puppy’s scent and temperament testing videos. With her help, I was able to select not only the best puppy for gluten detection but also the perfect match for my personality and lifestyle. I would have been completely lost without her expertise and encouragement.

Now that I’ve brought home my sweet puppy, Pippa, I’ve been so impressed with our first few months of training together. Kari’s knowledge, structure, and ongoing support have made this journey both approachable and exciting, and I couldn’t imagine doing it without her.
