Shah is finding his rhythm in his routine in advanced training, and January has shown us some new things about Shah. He is having some distractions in public environments, so we’re working on making sure he is checking in and creating lots of value for his handler. He remains highly motivated by kibble and working, so we’re also making sure Shah regulates his arousal when it comes to work. He always brings fun, enthusiastic energy to training. Shah still loves playtime and spending time with his dog friends at university, and is often the fastest guy racing around the room, hoping someone will chase him.
