Going to Target

 

I love this picture

 

Today was a good day.  We worked with a distraction, another younger service dog.  Breck could not have acted better.  We went to the pet food aisle.  Breck could not have acted better.  We went to the pet toy aisle.  Breck could not have acted better.  He did give the stuff, whether food or toys, a sniff,  but on the command "leave it" he immediately relented.

 

I know we have a long way to go, but tonight was the first time we acted as a TEAM!  He listened to me,  but even more importantly I listened to him.  The work seemed more natural even our trainer noticed the improvement.  I think we'll make this work.
