Shopping Fun

Hey furry friends!
I've been soo busy helping my raiser clean up after my amazing blogville birthday party, but I'm finally taking the time to do a post related to... guide dog work :)
My raiser took me shopping with her last week... and we went in, like - (almost) EVERY store in the City.
But it was a whole lot of fun!
My raiser did bring her camera with her... so I've got some pictures of me working in Wal-Mart, and sleeping in a waiting room.
My raiser has been so busy lately, that she's not had time to take me out to get some exposures and such. So she was quite happy to be able to work me last week, and was very impressed with how well I did!
Commands we used during our latest shopping trip...
- Forward
- Left/Right
- Heel
- Find The Door/Stairs/Car
- Switch
- Sit/Down/Stand/Stay
- Leave it

I really enjoyed our shopping trip, and had a whole lot of furry fun!
I'm off to go play with my birthday toys... enjoy the shopping pictures below :)

    How so very cool you got to go inside a store! That must have been so fun especially walking near the meat section. Bet all the meatables in there smelled like heaven!

    Glacier thinks that if you keep going in the direction that you are, you will get to do a job like his for someone. :) Good job.

    You are a much more polite shopper than many people I know.

    Happy belated birthday!

    Being a good doggie in the market is very difficult. Look at how focused and calm you are. Hooray for Rudy!
