With a busy December and Christmas it was nice to start January with a more low-key-looking month ahead. Ensuring existing skills don’t slip and spending more time on ones she’s not a fan of, such as staying in a sit for longer periods.

We survived the intense -50 cold snap and luckily have an indoor facility close by for some fun, with some great agility equipment, the tunnel is her favourite by far.

One of the PADS Trainers reached out to ask if I’d consider taking a new puppy and moving Miss Asti to another Raiser who works in a school, one of Asti’s favourite places. I knew my time with her was limited, so I had a lot to think about. So, with a heavy heart, she has joined another PADS family, who I know will love her and support her just as much as we did. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this very special girl.

Asti, you were a joy to raise and I feel like you led me through my first experience as a puppy raiser. Thank You.
