while wearing guide dog harness, this photo
is also the new header picture for Toby's blog)
My raiser FINALLY took me outside to get some pawsomely cool pictures of me wearing the guide dog harness.
She had me in a stand-stay for some, and a sit-stay for others.
(notice she has changed the header for my blog - it is now a black/white picture of me in a stand-stay wearing a guide dog harness).
I am enjoying getting the experience of wearing a guide dog harness out in town.
I am also proud of it; as I'm my raiser's first puppy to get to wear a harness in town!
(her others dogs weren't different, the school is just having to many dogs returning to the school with harness issues, so we need to work more with the harness).
* Note from raiser: Toby is only allowed to wear the harness in public if it is worn over his puppy in training coat so that the public is aware he's not a full-fledged working guide dog.
I also wanted to tell you about the PAWSOME contests my raiser is entering me in!!(Remember - to enter any of the following contests you do need to have a blog)
Mango is having his annual "Mango Minster" this month, so make sure to stop by his blog if you have a doggy, or "cat dog" you would like to enter!
Tucker's contest is a "sit-stay" competition, as long as you dogs can sit for a photo, you can enter his contest, check out the rules, and enter away!
Niamh's contest sounds quite interesting, to enter you need a picture of you (dog) and your owner doing training together, read more about it here.Biggie's contest sounds very fun, my raiser mentioned something about piling up dog toys/treats on me and getting a picture... Check out the details here.
Enjoy the pawsome pictures of me in harness, and I hope you enter the contests/ or even better vote for me! (only a couple contests are readers choice - others are picked by the blog author).
Have a great weekend, and don't forget to comment on how awesome I look in the guide dog harness! (no pride issues there...)

Looks great in that harness. That is interesting that your school does that now. What age are the dogs that get practice in the harness?
Toby is 10 months old and has just started in the harness.
Normally we start the dogs in harness at the age of 12 months (1 year), but due to the fact that we only have 2 harnesses in our group, we are starting sooner.

You look very handsome in your "uniform"
That harness means you are working! You must be so proud to be able to wear it.
