What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
Rather than bombard you with items from my photo archives, this Tuesday, I bring you the latest news about my sponsor pup, Albus - who seems to be doing very well indeed! Everybody, say, 'Awww'.
Some much needed good news here. Well done Albus! I was interested to see the platform training. Here in Aberdeen I've rigged up a slightly wobbly platform for Nobby to practice stepping on to - this is to help train him for the seesaw in agility. Apparently its particularly common for terriers to object to walking on things that move! Cheers, Gail.
Hi Yam - that's so wonderful to see ... so pleased for you and for Albus - while Ellie sounds a delight and dedicated to her cause. Congratulations - cheers Hilary
the video brought tears to my eyes, he is so smart and beautiful and will be someones means to a happy life. i learned a lot about how they train them, like the curb thing. i have often wondered. I also enjoyed hearing the trainers beautiful voice.
Great work you are doing, YAM. I have some experience of this. While never having been a trainer, I did many years of volunteer work for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and was exposed to many people with guide dogs. They are wonderful animals indeed.
Albus is a beautiful dog. Good luck in this important job you are learning.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to receive updates of the one you care for!
ReplyDeleteAlbus is lucky. I'm saying that in contrast to the infinite number of stray dogs i see every day here in my place.
