K9 KATSU

Katsu is my canine partner in work, travel, and life.

Katsu working at Yellowstone - 2009

He has been trained using the AKC Canine Good Citizen Principles, Public Access Standards, Leerburg's How to Train a Working Dog Series and allot of patience and straight mistakes on my part. Katsu has completed his AKC CGC certification and ADA Public Access Test certification in addition to his trained tasks.Even with so much working against me, he fully believes I am trained enough now to go in public on occasion. And a subject I like to mention is how I feed him - I feed Katsu 2 lbs of RAW uncooked chicken quarters, with a side of 2 uncracked eggs, a cup of yogurt, some supplemental fish oil, and fiber additives. When I got him he was a solid 87 lbs now he's a lean 71 lbs, very healthy and HAPPY about his meals, he looks at doggie chow as his last resort if ever. See Leerburgs Canine Naturopathic and Healthcare Products sections for the B.A.R.F. diet hints, the how to's and books are required reading to start this truly natural way of feeding. If you do your homework it's actually cheaper than the so called "good" dog kibble and the part that you have to scoop up stinks far less and actually vaporizes in your yard after a couple of days. Keeping and training a service dog is allot of work and has had a lot of unexpected financial costs if you can please donate we both would greatly appreciate it!
