April has been an exciting month forΒ TahsisΒ because she has chosen a job! Tahsis has told us that she enjoys listening and watching the environment so much that she thinks she will make an excellent hearing dog. We agree! Tahsis has been picking up sound foundations at lightning speed, and she absolutely loves it. She thinks the coolest thing about the job is that she gets to leave positions when sounds go off, which always means that food is coming! On top of working hard on generalizing her sound work, we have also been spending a lot of time outside and working on our off-leash manners and recalls.Β
