CADENCE continues to make lots of progress in her training, particularly enjoying learning to retrieve all kinds of things from various β€˜hiding’ places around her training space. Cadence continues to enjoy working in the bracing harness and is even practicing a modified β€œtug” skill to help her potential client stand from a sitting position. We hope to have Cadence ready to run through pre-placement testing in August. We look forward to sharing more news soon!
