Training at home

Well it finally happened. Our trainer brought Breck to our house.

I was a nervous wreck.  You'd think I never had a dog before. I was so concerned that something he had access to would be poison to him.  He didn't get poisoned but true to a dog's nature he had his nose in everything,  given the "leave it" command he left it. I found out rather quickly how difficult keeping an eye on him with my limited mobility was going to be. Tougher than anticipated.

Speaking of tougher than anticipated we went for a walk with my scooter yesterday.   All went exceptionally well until he got "busy". The leash was to short so he was straining.  Let me tell you that dog is strong.  So strong in fact I was worried he was going to pull me over.  That would be a very bad thing.  I can't lift myself so I'd be stuck on the ground needing rescue.

It was fun having him in the house, But as usual that excitement had to be tempered with a dose of reality.

Btw,we also found out that Bali (the dog of the friend that suggested we apply to Can-do-Canines) is Breck's aunt. Very cool, we love Bali.
