YAHTZEE is new to advanced training and is settling in nicely. He is a very sweet boy who easily transfers to different handlers.ย  He has been focusing on using his paws for targeting work for โ€˜pushโ€™ and โ€˜buttonโ€™ cues.ย  He has a nice start on retrieve with firm grabs of a dumbbell and is working on strengthening his hold to hopefully add duration in the coming months.ย  He loves working on skills and is excited to see what he can do!

  • Skills being learned: โ€˜Buttonโ€™, โ€˜pushโ€™, โ€˜lightโ€™, โ€˜open the doorโ€™, retrieve foundations.
  • Recent field trips: Canada Games Pool, 8 Rinks, various training field trips.
  • Possible behavior challenges: Alert barking at home.
  • Potential career path: Service, PTSD or AFD

Thank you again for all your support of Advanced Dog Yahtzee!
