Petra is taking advantage of this lovely summer weather to do lots of walks outside. We have been working hard on public access test scenarios and have taken many field trips to different locations, allowing her to better generalize her learning in public settings. On top of tricky tasks like doing โ€œgo inโ€ on food, Petra has been fine-tuning her PTSD service dog skills โ€“ she is a quick learner and shows that she is happy to โ€˜workโ€™ for anyone who has treats with them.

โ€ข Skills being learned: Alerting, Front & Post, Middle, Generalization, PPT Skills
โ€ข Recent field trips: New Brighton School, Calgary Farmers Market
โ€ข Possible behaviour challenges: Inhibits with stress
โ€ข Advanced training location: Calgary, AB
โ€ข Potential career path: PTSD Service Dog
