Last Tuesday (before the Control Unleashed class where she was uncomfortable), Alice had her first Puppy STAR training class at the Charlotte Dog Training Club. I know that we already know everything that will be taught in the class, but I am taking the class anyway to get experience working […]
Last Thursday (over a week ago), we had our Service Dogs on the Town class at a local mall! Brad needed time to edit the pictures, which are mostly black and white. That’s why the delay in posting. We met up just inside the mall doors, since it was cold […]
Today we had Control Unleashed class. I took the pups on a quick 5 min walk to get Hestia to poop before class and Alice seemed fine. But when we got to class she was not feeling right. She wouldn’t take treats, didn’t want to walk, and basically wanted to […]
Tonight Alice and I went to get some free KN-95 masks provided by Upon This Rock 3-Chord Ministries. I had seen their post on Facebook, and since these masks were just too expensive for Brad and me to purchase, I decided to head over. Brad was too ill to come […]
This morning I had to run to Publix, shop, and get back all within one hour! Luckily I didn’t have to get many things—mostly bananas and a few things that were on sale. Hestia was PERFECT while we were there! She heeled the entire time, didn’t sniff, and was generally […]
Today Alice went to my Service Dogs on the Town class (blog entry in a few days when Brad gets pictures processed), and was too trained out to attend Control Unleashed class. I still wanted to go, so I took Hestia instead. She was absolutely THRILLED when she realized where […]
This morning Hestia and I picked Scarlet up and we all went to the food pantry. Since the pandemic food stamps assistance ended, our food stamps have been nearly cut in half. So we need to seek other sources of food, especially as prices are rising drastically. We arrived 15 […]
(Pictures and video below.) We had such a good time in class tonight! Alice was in heat, so she was wearing purple panties with her purple service dog in training harness. Alice does have other non-working harnesses, but she has outgrown two of them and is not super comfortable in […]
Pictures below! On Thursday we started a new class called “Control Unleashed”. This class will help Alice learn to relax more and communicate better with me. Our friend Skyler with Korra is in the class with us! For the first part of class, we left our dogs in our cars […]
I’m always telling people to train, not shop, when you’re dealing with a service dog in training puppy. You can never focus on both things, and usually something gets messed up. Well today, I re-discovered that is the case! I was supposed to meet someone for a Manners Evaluation today. […]
