This month I am “In The Spotlight”! My success story of rescue to going home with Mom & Dad to become a pet, service and therapy dog is on the home page of the Save A Mutt Shelter – but we all know I am not a mutt, I am a diva Newfie! Anyway, I am very thankful that they found a great home for me ( and Mom and Dad are too!!) and we wanted to share the Spotlight article and SAMS awesome work with you! Do check them out, please and thank you.
Isn’t it awesome?!?!?

Today was a huge success! We have been volunteering in a very challenging class doing Animal Assisted Therapy (working 1-1 with some specific students to meet goals) and had not made much progress. Suddenly everything seemed to click for the students. They acted like angels. Each one decided to try his/ her hardest to do his/her work and and request help. Each student actively sought me out when frustrated and patted me and then talked things out with Mom. Each student got his/ her work completed for the very first time and it was 100% correct! This is an example of what it can look like when I help.
Boy, was it exhausting! This says it all:
And when Mom and I got home, she wanted her recliner, and I had to join her…
We have to share our celebration and our exhaustion and the recliner, right?

Have you trained your human for success? Does s/he respond reliability to your cues? If so, you have done your job as a dog. This cartoon illustrates one hound’s successful training of his human!
In our house, the humans train the dogs LOL! We ring bells to go outside. Just sayin’. Guess that means the shoe is on the other foot or paw as the case may be!
