Week 2 Therapy Training

Wow...does anyone remember me? Sorry we have been away for so long. Mom is on mandatory OT at work and just doesn't have as much time to help anymore. We are still checking out your blogs but only get to do that once a week but we go back and read all weeks of our pals blogs, so know we are still here. :)

Sorry these photos are blurry. The training is inside a garage and mom doesn't want to interrupt the class so she doesn't use the flash on the camera so they come out kind of blurry, but you can get the point.

Okay....so week 2 at therapy training. Bokeh got introduced to a walker and a wheelchair this time.

First they practice their sit and down stays

Then they did some heeling. Check out how nice Bokeh is paying attention to dad

Paying close attention in class (Bokeh, no sleeping!)

Greeting another dog

Then he got groomed by Karen and checked all over, he didn't mind, he loves any attention

Then they brought out the wheelchair

Bokeh wasn't scared at all and went right up to it

He even sat very politely next to it so Karen could pet him

Now...this is the part of the test mom thinks Bokeh might have a problem with. That is walking over food and not eating it! She had to take a video of this one. Dad cheated by covering the food with his feet the first time though.

  1. We meet a guy in a motorized wheelchair at the beach he wanted to pet me but I was afraid of his chair and wouldn't go near him.

  2. Bokeh is doing so well in that class and does great attention heeling! I think the food would be my downfall for sure! :)

  3. Way to go Bokah. YOu are working so hard. I gotta say the one thing that is hard for me is the walkers where they put tennis balls on them. I mean, what are they thinking.....
    Tennis Balls.....and they want us to leave them alone.

    I am emberassed to say that last week at the hospital, I saw a walker in the hallway and no one was with it, so I just went over to check it out.

    Boy did my vickie give me the evil eye.

    Good luck dude,
    your doing great
