This month,Β Taylor IIΒ has been focusing on strengthening the proper alert pathway to all her sounds and correctly discriminating between them. We have also introduced a new alert β key drop! Taylor has also been spending a lot of time learning cooperative care on a grooming table β she doesnβt love her feet being touched and can be a little sensitive to body handling. So we are working hard on building a strong positive association with nail trims and grooming. With some nice weather lately, Taylor has enjoyed spending her time off work at the river valley playing with her dog friends.
- Skills being learned:Β Key drop, doorbell, door knock, phone ring, cooperative care, body targeting
- Recent field trips:Β PetSmart, Costco, Superstore, University of Alberta, West Edmonton Mall
