Tioย has been trying different skills, like walking next to a power chair, working on a building, and going up and down stairs one step at a time. Heโ€™s still exploring what type of work heโ€™d like to do, and so far, he is looking like a flexible guy who might mix and match some of his skill sets. Sometimes, Tio can still get a bit of dog or good smells distracted, so heโ€™s continuing to work on refocusing quickly and knowing when he has permission to sniff or greet or when itโ€™s not time yet. This has been coming along well, and he likes it best when high-value rewards are used to make it even more tasty to refocus on his handler!ย 

We are incredibly grateful for the support of Advanced Dog Tio.
