Another Class and Some Fun

Currently, I am getting ready to complete the handler certification. This can be completed one of two ways: in person or online. Because the nearest place for an in-person workshop is about 3 hours away, it is more convinient for me to take the online course. Hopefully, I will have this training completed by the end of Thanksgiving Break.

In other news, Kai and I have found an even more challenging place to practice: Petco. For some reason, I have found Petco has more people with animals walking around. Kailaq did alright, but definitely needed some reminders. We also had a little fun while we were there!

Education after Graduation

Its been a week since graduation. School has been crazy busy so Kai and I have not had much practice time compared to before. Over the weekend we made a visit to Home Depot and spent a while there. There were two kids who asked if they could pet Kai. Kai did exactly as he was taught and didn’t mind all the attention. 

The good thing about Home Depot is there are a lot of very strange noises (saws, hammers, noisy broken carts, wood being dropped, the occasional dog and not to mention people or kids.) I have found that this is a great place to desensitize noises and improve socialization skills during my free time.
