Sylvan went on a bunch of adventures and field trips this month, which allowed us to get to know her a bit more. Based on these outings, we have pivoted on a potential career for her and are working on mobility skills. She is proving to be a quick learner and seems to be enjoying learning the foundations of being a mobility service dog. She has been working on retrieving items, rear foot targeting and lateral movement.
When not at the training centre, she travelled to Spruce Meadows, Banff, Calgary Public Library, YouthLink Calgary Police Interactive Museum and Chinook Centre. During these trips, she displayed her beautiful loose leash walking and handler focus.
I am excited to continue to explore mobility work with Sylvan next month!
Thank you for your support of Advanced Dog Sylvan. It is greatly appreciated!
