This month, Drax made excellent progress in his hearing-dog foundation skills and continued to show strong engagement during every training session. He has been building confidence in busy, noise-filled environments. A great training outing this month was our trip to Park Royal. Drax practiced maintaining focus, responding to cues, and working calmly despite the crowds, echoing surfaces, and constant environmental sounds. He handled the busyness well.
Drax also attended a large presentation for Quadar Chemicals, where we educated the audience about the different types of service dogs we train. Despite the new setting, a large group (hundreds of people) and unfamiliar noises, Drax stayed composed and worked beautifully throughout the event. Overall, Drax is showing consistent development and a great attitude toward his hearing-dog training. He continues to rise to every challenge with enthusiasm and professionalism.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of Advanced Dog Drax.
