The FTD Pack are our pets and are led by our Demo Expert Dog Ganon who comes with Fabiola to training sessions. They are our hearts and home while assisting in training, our events and group trainings. Each of them has their own personality and background story detailed below. As you can see, they are all different breeds and sizes, but they are best buds and a huge part of FTD and our family.
Belgian Malinois born in July 2015. Part-time demo dog, full time good doggo. Ganon was relinquished at a very young age due to many behavioral challenges including anxiety, aggression, coprophagia (eats poop), not leash broken, chewing, pica (eating unusual objects), jumping, unresponsive to any commands and many more. Fabi took Ganon in as a foster initially, but after spending time working with Ganon through his behavioral challenges a special bond sparked.
Ganon’s extensive needs helped him accomplish many advanced training such as advanced basic obedience, retrieval, scent, utility, protection and certified service dog. Ganon’s special “power” is that he will stare at you non-stop and so intensely until you give him what he wants, even when his long stare makes people feel awkward or uncomfortable!
Miniature Poodle mix born in February 2006. The oldest member of the FTD pack! Being albino, Alvin has been deaf his whole life. Loves to make Fabi spend a good amount of “useless” toys and beds because Alvin LOVES empty plastic bottles to play with and prefers newspaper or cardboard over a nice orthopedic bed.
Believe it or not, even at sixteen years of age Alvin has PLENTY of energy to play fetch! Alvin’s special “power” is he will force you to give him belly rubs. Once you touch him you become his bff.
Red Nose Pit born in 2012. Biggest couch potato and most sensitive boy in the pack. Before coming to Fabi, Capone had housing issues where he kept bouncing around from foster home to foster home. Capone developed some dog aggression issues due to instability and lack of boundaries to where he attacked and broke skin on 3 different dogs that led his previous owner to make the decision to euthanize him.
Fabi wanted to give this handsome sweet boy another opportunity and it was the best decision she has made. With some boundaries implemented, Capone was able to overcome those issues and is living a wonderful, happy and balanced life. Watch out for all the deadly kisses and cuddles from Capone! Capone’s special “power” is he is too handsome for his own good.
French Bulldog born in February 2022. Lilo was supposed to be a business project, due to her cuteness, sweetness, smartness and great demeanor but the FTD pack fell in love with her and decided to keep her instead.
Lilo loves bullying Winky, terrorizing Capone, and annoying Ganon. This hippo loves to nap anywhere she can! And Lilo will act like no one has ever fed her and will try to get you to give her anything with those gorgeous round puppy eyes. Lilo’s special “power” is zoomies, surprisingly quick and strong!
Domestic Shorthair born in September 2013.
She’s a cat.
