Therapy Training

So Bokeh went to week 4 of his therapy dog training. What a night that was. Traffic was awful because it was raining. Dad got stuck on the freeway so mom had to run over and get Bokeh from daycare before they closed. Mom and dad got home with just enough time to let us all pee and poo and then they ran off again. I was not a happy camper and I actually barked as they were leaving to let them know that. Mom and dad felt so guilty and wish they could take me with them.

Bokeh started out class by learning a key word to tell him what to do. He learned "go say hi" to teach him to walk up to the walker or wheelchair.



They he sat down to be petted



and the he showed his rotten self and jumped up on the walker to get a closer visit, he is a silly boy



Then he got to practice some of his recalls



He did a good job



Then it was time to practice heeling



and then going into a sit



and then heeling



going into a down. We were not sure if he would do this as he hasn't went from a heel to a straight down before but he did great



Look at the great attention he is showing to dad



Good job lil bro



Next week he is training at Polaris Mall. He will get to learn to ride the elevators, use the steps, meet lots of people. Should be fun.
