Hey furry friends!
One of my latest puppy meetings was a "traffic walk" & "grocery store" exposure.
One of my latest puppy meetings was a "traffic walk" & "grocery store" exposure.
With us guide dogs, we all have to "enjoy" walking along side heavy traffic, without getting distracted.
Not only do I enjoy walks, but heavy traffic has never bothered me - so it was a furry fun meeting fur sure!
We did do a quick puppy swap during the meeting, so I was with another raiser during some of our traffic walk, and while inside the grocery store.

I have ONE last puppy meeting before I head back to school for IFT, and I'll be sure to post lots of pictures of it :)
Enjoy the photos/movie below!

Hey Rudy! Did I tell you there was a service dog in my agility school? Sometimes one of the mom's who isn't his does his runs with him because when he runs with his mom he is kind of reluctant to get too far from her.
I am treasuring every photo and video of you because I know you are going to your next big thing very soon.
Kisses,

I have the same rules too for crossing the streets and walking near traffic, even though am not training as a service doggie - but I always have to wait at curbs until my humans say I can cross. My commandds are "Wait" and "OK!" - I've been doing it for so long now, I just pause & go into a Wait by myself when I approach a curb!

Well done Rudy, we love watching you working.
take care

hey Rudy,
Excellent job! You look so handsome out there, and you seem to be learning everything so quickly! Traffic can be scary, so good job!

Very good, Rudy. You are stable & that's very important.
