Antonio has been enjoying time away from on-site training with advanced sitters while he is on medical hold. The good news is Antonio is feeling better now! His sitter says that he really enjoys running in Pacific Spirit Park and meets his friend PADS Swift for walks. They even practice duration sits on the trails! Antonio has been on outings to Granville Island Market and out to lunch at different restaurants. He is very good at going in under the table and relaxing! He helped his sitter at a physio appointment and was commended for his good behaviour. Antonioβs spunkier side pops up at times and he can be persistent in trying to eat inappropriate objects, so when needed, he is training with a muzzle on to practice his leave it. Bath time was a success, with a peanut butter licky mat as the tasty distraction! Antonio met a lot of children at church and was very popular! He did a good job of lying down for pats from little ones. He is starting to learn to curb his enthusiasm for meeting new people and keeping four on the floor. Way to go, Antonio!
We are incredibly grateful for the support of Advanced Dog Antonio.
