This makes her an ideal candidate for diverse environments where calmness and focus are paramount. Ruby has demonstrated her proficiency in public settings by successfully passing the Public Access portion of the Service Dog test, a testament to her exemplary behavior in various environments. Although she is not fully certified as a service dog, due to the absence of a medical need component, her capabilities far exceed those of an average companion animal. Ruby’s training extends beyond basic obedience. She is skilled in advanced obedience, tracking, and explosive detection—skills that are vital in high-stakes scenarios.

Her experience includes hours of training in both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, where she has been inoculated to the loud noises and vibrations associated with air travel. This training ensures that Ruby remains calm and focused, even in the most challenging environments. Ruby’s exposure to gunfire and explosions during her training has further solidified her as a dependable working dog. Her ability to remain composed in the face of such intense stimuli underscores her suitability for roles that require both physical and mental resilience. Given her unique combination of skills and temperament, Ruby would be well-suited to roles that demand a dog capable of both acting friendly and displaying a controlled, threatening presence when necessary. Her advanced training and breed makes her an ideal candidate for roles such as a police or military K9, where her ability to switch seamlessly between protective and approachable behaviors is essential. Whether it's fast roping out of a helicopter, running after a bad guy, or loving on her little human, Ruby is excited to give whatever role she might play, her all.
