Results of our Mini Test!!!!
Mom, Mom’s Mom and I traveled the 100 miles for my mini-therapy test last evening. I of course was wonderful. What can I say???? Mom followed the instructions she was give, put me in a stay, then the lady wanted Mom to call me to come to her. Well, Mom said, “No, as a stay is when my girl stay put. If you want her to come to me, I need to put her in a wait.” Well, that just was perfect. Mom did put me in a wait, I did as asked, and came when Mom called me.
We then had to pass a dog and not even pay attention to the dog. The dog was a certified therapy dog, we passed, I ignored, but the other dog wanted to say “Hi!” Ha, I did better than he did.
Apparently I need to walk on a looser leash for Mom, so the gentle leader will and can be used. This morning, Mom put the gentle leader on me and I was great. Mom told me that I needed to wear the gentle leader for the test and we would be practicing with it.
I am scheduled to take the test in November. I will keep all of you updated on my progress. I am so excited, I just know I will be going to many interesting places.
Until next time,

Way to go Izzy! I’m thinking Max might go for therapy do training once he’s healed, so I look forward to reading more about your testing and everything 🙂

Max, I bet you would be a great role model as a therapy pup. I will keep all of you posted on my training and testing.

good for you, izzy! you are a superstar! i used to walk on a gentle leader before i was a tripawd. it’s not too horrible. Mom doesn’t make me wear it now that i’m a tripawd though, she lets me carry my leash in my mouth 🙂

This morning I used the gentle leader, it wasn’t too bad. Mom gave me water, but I chose not to drink with my leader on. I am just testing Mom to see if she is going to keep using the gentle leader. I have a feeling she will, but I just have to try you know.
