Morley got to reunite with all his littermates this month as they entered advanced training in Calgary!

He went on a field trip to Home Alive Pets with PADS Bingo. They worked on maintaining handler focus in a high-distraction area without being in cape. This was a challenge initially, but his love of food won out in the end, and he was able to ignore the distractions around him. He also went to Graham Construction for a presentation on PADS dogs. He got the opportunity to settle around a large number of people and other PADS dogs.

Morley continues to work on his retrieve and being a bit more gentle and thoughtful with objects. We are perfecting his heel and side positions around a wheelchair and have begun teaching my lap, foot, behind and button. He is no longer being considered for the breeding program, which means he will officially enter advanced training once he is neutered next month!
