This was a big month for Teddy II as he moved to Advanced Training! Teddy has a wonderful personality and loves to be near his people. He is a clever guy who loves to learn and tackle new skills. This past month, we polished up his understanding of heel and side and...

With the weather warming up, Teddy has started going back to the off-leash park. He loves to run around with the other dogs and is working on his recall. He is getting pretty good at checking in and somehow always finds the muddiest area to rest. Teddy has spent the...

Teddy had a busy and productive month. He has been working hard on cooperative care and will now roll onto his side when food is placed on the ground. We have been working hard on ‘heel’ in both a standing and sitting position. Teddy is a thoughtful guy...

This was my first full month with Teddy and he has quickly shown what a great guy he is! He has been working so hard on loose leash walking and will now automatically correct his position with and without leash pressure. We have been sticking to lower distraction...

Teddy arrived from BC towards the end of the month. He came to stay with me on the 25th. We are still getting to know each other and will have much more to share next month. So far, we have been working on settling around other dogs. Outside of the home, we have been...

We are excited to welcome Teddy II to our Advanced Training Crew! Teddy is a rambunctious and independent boy who loves to play and work for food. His raisers have done an amazing job with Teddy, and they should be very proud of him as he is a true credit to their...

Teddy has been working on his settling skills. I happily submit two photos I took on our last full day with Teddy, while I watched the TV noon-hour news. Teddy can settle when at home! Submitted by: Sandra, PADS Puppy-in-Training...

Where did November go???!!!! There was a trip to the Tsawwassen Mills Mall to practise training: “Go in” & “Sit” (photos) & a reward with a puppuccino. (Maybe Teddy’s first because he didn’t act as though he knew what was coming in the little cup?) (photo) We...

3 – 3 – 3 Teddy has spent 3 days, 3 weeks, but only 1 month with us, and all is on track positively, for sure: routine is established, free time in the garden (supervised), regular review of basics, attend to class homework, naps! We continue to enjoy Teddy’s presence...

I’ve said it before, but it’s appropriate to repeat it here, “Happiness is yet another PADS pup!” It appears that I’ve gone from being a ‘raiser’ to becoming a ‘sitter,’ interesting, for sure. A call for “Help” came last Monday, September 25th, to sit Teddy...

I had a fun time at the PADS centre working outside with mobile wheelchairs and getting to jump into a big van. Even with the other dogs around, I did really well. My raisers and my instructor were rather impressed. Also, I celebrated my 1st birthday early with my...

So many things to talk about so little space! First, I got to hang out with Antonio and Summer on a couple of occasions. It was very exciting as usual for me, but after a while, we just chilled. I also got to meet George and Locki at an off-leash trail!! That was so...

This June, I got to go to school with my raiser. It was very exciting, even though only the teachers were there, and I got to check everything out. Aside from that, June was busy with the usual stops – grocery stores and coffee shops. I’m working hard at...

Last month I had my first puppy-sitting weekend! My puppy-sitter was Kelsey; she was great. I got to hang out with her and her parents’ dog for the day. Overall, I still get pretty excited when I get to meet new humans, and let’s not get started with other...

I had my very first ferry ride to the island! At first, it was a bit weird being on the ground that moved underneath me and seeing all that water. Wow, that’s a big puddle!!! I kept my cool for the most part, and my trainer helped by cuddling me in the car. We...

So, January was a chilly and dreary month, I don’t like the rain much. However, I have enjoyed going for walks more this month, and I’m doing better at keeping pace with my trainer for longer periods. I get excited near the end of the walk and need to blow...

Hi! My first Christmas was amazing. I loved playing outside in all the snow and seeing if I could find the leaves buried underneath. Inside, I liked lying in front of the fireplace and looking at the lights on the Christmas tree, even if I wasn’t allowed to chew...
