Friday walk with the gang took us to David March Park. It was a gorgeous day at a beautiful newly renovated park. There were lots of stairs to practice walking slowly, children running, some people to greet and we got to watch a boy practicing fielding and hitting on the very nice baseball field.
Thank you David and Jackie Joseph-Lawrence for sponsoring me!🥰🥰🐾

Had a fun outing to the mall with my buddy Archie today! We practiced trying to walk together without hugs and kisses, loose leash walking, calm greetings and settling. We did a great job and shared our trading cards with a lot of nice people🥰🐾🐾🐾

Today we went to Home Depot to see all of the interesting things going on. I heard lots of noises, watched the fork lift, the paint machine, a giant floor cleaning machine and lots of people loading all sorts of things onto noisy carts. I practiced walking carefully with a cart and did some greetings with some very nice Home Depot employees😊. I tried hard not to sneak in too many unsolicited kisses but honestly it’s a work in progress lol.
Thank you David and Jackie Joseph-Lawrence for sponsoring me- I’m trying hard to make you proud!🥰🐾🐾

I forgot to mention one of my biggest challenges of the day-IYKYK! The small but oh so mighty PEPPERONI. I wanted it very badly but I used my super powers to resist the pull of that wonderful smelling little circle🤣🤣🤣🤣 It was parked right outside the elevator so I HAD to walk past it… not easy but I persevered! (The high value treats didn’t hurt)

I spent a couple hours at the mall on Juneteenth. It was very busy- lots of people and excited children running, jumping and screaming. I did a great job walking calmly through crowds and only snuck one or two kisses in😳😂. I rode lots of elevators, tried all different sets of stairs. I went to the arcade for awhile but it was a little overwhelming with all the noises.
I calmly walked by screaming kids riding motorized dinosaurs with light up eyes and strolled through the perfume section without getting distracted by all the smells.
I had a BIG nap when I got home😴😴😴
Thank you as always to my wonderful sponsors David and Jackie Joseph-Lawrence🥰🥰🐾

Skills class last night- we practiced “eating out” with other dogs and their raisers. We worked on loose leash walking, calmly waiting in line, not pulling and settling under the table while the raisers ate and played a fun quiz game. Canine development trainers always make skills night fun and a great practice environment! Congratulations to Marley for being the BIG winner of the quiz game🏆
Thank you to my wonderful sponsors David and Jackie Joseph-Lawrence- your support is greatly appreciated!❤️🐾🐾🐾

My raisers came to visit me at camp today. I was excited to see them but it was HOT. I was also happy to go back with my roomie and the wonderful GDA kennel staff🥰🥰

A lot of my training involves practicing my skills with distractions, calmly watching new things and noises so I can get accustomed to maintaining focus. We practice this at home (watching tree trimmers), at skills class where the trainers set up all sorts of distractions, and out in the community. I love getting out and about!
Thank you to my wonderful sponsors David and Jackie Joseph-Lawrence for all of your support!🐾🐾🐾🥰
