QUIXLEY has traveled to Vancouver Island to spend time with advanced training volunteer Don. Quixley is enjoying all the one-on-one attention and loves to have a good cuddle on the floor with Don. He has been practicing transferring his obedience and public access manners to a new handler and has been spending time learning to determine when his handler needs his support and appropriately interrupting.
- Skills being learned: βMy lapβ, anxiety interruption behaviors, maintaining basic obedience and public access manners.
- Recent field trips: Ferry trip to the island, restaurants, doctorβs office, grocery store.
- Possible behavior challenges: Occasional scent distraction from food on the floor, occasional dog distraction.
- Potential career path: PTSD or AFD
Thank you again for all your support of Advanced Dog Quixley!
