CIRQUE continues to do well working in a home environment with her sitters Una, Stephanie and Paul. In order to simulate a real-world working schedule, Cirque has begun to stay out of the kennel with her sitters 24/7. She is getting lots of practice going to various everyday locations, such as grocery stores, restaurants and malls. This kind of experience is very valuable to a solid dog like Cirque because it shows us that she will maintain her obedience and public access skills once she is working with her client, accompanying her human as they complete day-to-day tasks that may not always be super engaging for her. Cirque continues to eagerly await her perfect client match!
