This month,Β MercedesΒ spent time brushing up all her hearing and public access skills so she could take her pre-placement testing. She did an especially excellent job of making her alert bumps extra strong and clear! Mercedes also did a great job of holding her β€œwait” in a vehicle while squirrels were nearby and the handler was just out of sight. All of her videos are completed and submitted, and we are excited to see the results soon!

We are incredibly grateful for the support of Advanced Dog Mercedes.
