While it may be officially spring, itβs still snow season in Calgary, soΒ MassetΒ has been waiting impatiently to hit the local parks with his advanced training friends. While we wait for better weather to arrive, we have been working hard on public access test scenarios and many field trips to places like the pet store so he can better generalize his learning for when he is out and about. On top of tricky tasks like doing βgo inβ on food, Masset has been fine-tuning his AFD skills β he is a very enthusiastic learner and shows that he is happy to βworkβ for anyone who has treats with them or a nice lap for him to put his head into.
- Skills being learned:Β body targeting, chin targeting, listening even when he is playing with friends
- Recent field trips:Β Homes Alive Pet store, Chinook Centre, Brookfield Place
- Possible behavior challenges:Β Can be concerned about food on the floor
- Advanced training location:Β Calgary
Thank you again for all your support of Advanced Dog Masset!
