Digby is with me for a puppy start. He came to PADS from Joys for Living Service Dogs. He arrived with a strong start!

We have been working on the 4 pillars of puppy training – Better Go Now, Loose Leash Walking, House Manners, and Kenneling. Digby is doing extremely well in all areas.

He kennels like a champ at night and during the day. He loves his kennel and will often go into the kennel to rest or play. He sleeps approx 8 hours/night. And will nap for a couple of hours in the afternoon.Β  His loose leash walking is good! House manners are improving. He is calm and will play on his own, but gets very excited by other dogs.

Digby has been in community centres and schools teaching yoga. He has been to doctor’s offices, a chiropractor and grocery stores. He has been downtown to an office. He is generally calm and confident. He needs a moment to check out sites and sounds and then will engage and move with me. He is clever and learns quickly.

Digby was also on Global Noon News with Meredith. He was a champ!! Photo attached.
