College bound

Today I'm starting a new chapter in my life. COLLEGE!

Welcome to the Incoming class of May 2012! Founder, Finn, Fargo, Frisbee, Fable, Flair, Findley, Fritz, Freyja, Flora, Quincy and Eli!

My first report card: Flora did well on her temperament test and will start training tomorrow.

What comes next? Phase One is basic obedience and Public access training. Phase Two is retrieve training.

Phase One and Two are taught by different trainers simultaneously and usually take 8 - 10 weeks.

During Phase 3 they are assigned to a 3rd Trainer who will then assign them to a client and begin teaching the dogs the specific tasks that the client requires of their Assistance Dog. Phase 3 takes 4 - 6 months depending on how many tasks are needed.

A New Toy

Mom brought me home a new toy. My very own puppy!

This one is real. Her name is Eden. Mom says I have to be gentle.

She is fun to play with.

She does have sharp teeth. I don't mind.
