This month, Sesame made great progress in his mobility foundation skills. He’s been enthusiastic during training sessions and is showing growing confidence in the tasks we’ve been introducing.
A big focus this month was practicing in real-world environments. We took several outings to the mall, where Sesame worked on staying focused around distractions, navigating busy walkways, and maintaining calm, consistent behaviour in public spaces. Each trip helped him build stronger environmental awareness and improved his ability to move smoothly beside me, even with crowds, noise, and new smells.
Overall, Sesame showed wonderful engagement and steady improvement. He enjoyed the work, adapted well to new challenges, and continues to develop the skills he’ll need as a mobility service dog.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of Advanced Dog Sesame.
