So, yeah, about today, I am exhausted! Today, we started out at a private Christian school that generously donated their facility to CPL for use during Team Training (thank you). There we had a lecture on access with our service dogs and did some obedience and retrieval training. For lunch we took a field trip to Chilli's utilizing the go "under" a table and lay "down". Also a command that got broken by Cleo is "leave it" as in "leave the food and keep going". Finally, the teams who had alert dogs got to go home while the other teams went back to the kennel to feed and groom.
The field trip went well, I think. Cleo loaded up in the car wonderfully which is great because that seems to be a command she doesn't particularly like following! When we got there she lyed down under the table rather cutely until it was time to leave. I was told that she got a piece of chip on the way out. I need to be more stern on the "leave it" because I drop almost everything and I do not want her eating a pill, someday.
She certainly has a bond with her trainer, but I believe that each day that she is handed over to me I am becoming less of a stranger. After her dinner this evening I received some kisses! I love her more and more each day, and on Friday when she comes back to the hotel with me, we will truly bond!
I am trying to think if there is any moments in my life that would not be appropriate and to be honest I don't think there are any. I don't go skydiving, rock climbing, or do triathlons. This is in fact the best time in my life for Cleo.
