Hi Everyone! We are almost done with Therapy Dog training. I hope I pass the test, its going to be very hard I think, but my mother and I are training all of the right things! This week we did a lot of review, it was hard because my mother was a little befuddled because her car broke in the afternoon and things did not go as planned for the day - sometimes that happens but it throws us for a loop for sure! We have been working a lot of sitting, staying, chin and cheek. I think that this week we will work with other dog distractions because that was REALLY hard for me in class.
practice makes perfect, as long as it is perfect practice! No new pictures this week, so just so you don't forget who I am,...
a tail of me, Lucy Lu, learning to be a therapy dog and what its all about. some things are harder then others, but I try really hard!

Chin, Cheek, Nails anyone?
wow, the class we did this week was hard. we had to help out a stroke patient who could not use the left side of their body. my mother tried to be creative in our skills to get this person to move, ha ha, desperate was more like it. I could tell my mom was nervous about this!
but guess what, cheeks, chin and nails work really well! the hand signal my mommy taught me for our nails trick is with her LEFT hand, and leaning to the RIGHT. And chin and cheek must be done with both hands so we did pretty well! I love doing chin, as you can tell by some of these pictures,............. and cheek! And nails, well, its just cute, at least my mother things so, me, not so much, but I help my mom out once in a while with it,....
