Day Five - Chancer the Kid Magnet

Posted 2/2/2008 4:12:02 PM

Today, only Iyal, Adair and I went to 4 Paws for the training session. Morasaha and my Dad stayed at the hotel to do about 5 loads of laundry for us! The morning was spent with Jeremy covering many topics including travel, the laws pertaining to service dogs and several other issues. This afternoon the class met at the indoor mall near our hotel. I dropped off Iyal and Adair and immediately went to the mall. Jeremy spent about 20 minutes following each team for sugestions,corrections etc. We met at the Food Court which was mobbed. This was a very realistic way to practice obedience and make sure the dogs were continuing to respect us.

I realized that we will now have to give ourselves an extra 15 minutes wherever we go just to give us time to answer questions and allow people to pet Chancer. He is such a kid magnet!! Chancer was very good except when I could not get him to stop sniffing a woman's rear-end who was in line at a register in front of me!! He wouldn't take "No!" for an anwer...

I also recognized the amount of spaced Chancer takes up. Alot!!

We have cousins visitng us from Chilicothe, Ohio in just a few minutes... so that's it for now.
