Hi Terry, Tucker and I just finished the Delta evaluation today and we passed for predictable environments. I'm so excited! We could not have done it without you. Your guidance and encouragement were catalysts to our success. Thank you so very much. Tucker and I visited the Rehab and Nursing Center on Thursday. We had a message on our answering machine from April when we got home wanting to schedule regular visits. Take care and thank you so much for all of your encouraging words, training tips and guidance along our journey. It has been an enriching experience for both of us. One other thing I wanted to share with you that I'm sure will not be new to
you...the bond Tucker and I have now is so much stronger since we did the
training with you. I can't even begin to tell you the changes that have
occurred. Thank you for that as well. Regards, Marcia and Tucker
Just wanted to let everyone know that Gracie and I tested today for her pet therapy dog certificate and she PASSED!!!!!! Yippee Skippy. She did very well and I am really proud of her. She received (2’s) on everything which is the highest marks and tested as complex which means she can go in to any environment and be fine. We had tested back in August and Gracie did well on everything but the "neutral" dog. I had put her in a sit stay and she broke and crossed my midline to lick the other dog on the nose when she was supposed to have stayed and ignored the other dog. But it was really more my fault than hers. Anyway, this time when the neutral dog came out, I put her in a down stay and then told her to "leave it" (boy Terry is that a handy command) and then greeted the other handler and went about our business. But you know none of this would have been possible with out your help and guidance She never moved. She did very well and so now we are on our way to McDonalds to celebrate her victory with Zach and Sallie too. Thank you again,
Steph and Gracie Mae, Fort Collins, CO.
Hi Terry, I follow your articles in the paper. Lots of good advice. But have been wanting to thank you for when Skipper and I attended your class last fall. We even missed two of them but did want to let you know that you made a difference for both of us. We will never be "show" material but we both have a different attitude. I was mostly chair bound for Jan., Feb., and March and Skipper was my best buddy for sure. He was most sympathetic when I was reduced to tears on several occasions. Loose leash walking is still not his best thing but he can do it if he has to!! But must admit I let him smell his special spots on our usual walk sites. Just got back from a week in the country with lots of bull head stickers, chickens, geese, and ducks running loose and a new baby kitten and puppy that he was a gentleman with. He sure slept well on the 50 miles drive home, he was worn out as I was too. Cooking, cleaning and taking care of milking supplies and two lively grand kids was fun but good to get home too. I know you made a difference for both of us. Thanks again Terry. Jean, Fort Collins. |
