Happy Halloween & Therapy Training Week 5

Happy Halloween to all my blog friends!

So we are on week five of therapy dog training. Class was held at Polaris Mall this time. Normally dogs are not allowed in the mall but the manager gives approval for the therapy dogs in training to come in.

Looks like we are going shopping!

Hey dad, do you need a new shirt?

Working on our down stays in the mall

First time on an elevator

Not scared at all

Waiting as we got off the elevator was a lady in a wheelchair. How perfect for therapy training, you would think they planned that or something. But she was happy to help us out and say hi to the dogs

Dad, I think mom would like some new carrots!

Practicing our heeling and sits in the mall

Then it was time to take a break

and try to be calm as children play near by and people walk past

Then another lady in a wheelchair stopped. She was watching all of us and then asked if she could pet Bokeh. Happy to let someone say hi.

Even got to go shop in the Buckeye store

It was a lot of fun. You should have seen all the people staring as all the dogs walked past them. It was pretty funny. Class there again this week.

  3. Wow! How fun! And you were SO good, Bokeh. I'm kinda embarrassed to admit it but, well, I sorta lose my mind when we get to go in a store. I'm all, "WHOA! What is THAT? And what is THAT? And can I have THAT? PLEEEEZE????" Mom says we're gonna take a class where we go to different places and I learn not to act all cuckoo-nuts. Yeah, well, we'll see how well that works.

  5. So great that you're doing therapy dog training! I was going to do it after my CGC, but mom decided we should wait a few years until I calm down a bit...

  11. Good for you that you're working on therapy training-I think Bocci would be good at that... but not as good as Sagira!

    Glad you entered for the wearable towel-I don't think you've signed up for our e-mail, though... and double check for FB networked Blogs and Twitter following:-)

    P.S. Why not join the BlogPaws community-that will help you get reviews and giveaways to do-I'm happy to help if you're interested!

  13. We know that shirt! DON'T replace it! Walk alongside dad with pride when he wears it.

    We got a very cool magnet in the mail today PLUS unexpected treats! Thank you so very much (momma DID make us do tricks to get some)! Next year she is saying we will have to do The Time Warp dance together for treats.

  15. What a perfect setting for class! And it looked like Bokeh passed with flying colors!

  16. Bokeh, you did good. Mommy says elevators make her nervous, so we are very glad we have never been on one.
