So, early last year I posted(possibly under a different name) I was getting a partially trained Labrador to hopefully be my assistance dog as I’m autistic/adhd etc.
i have had the dog in question for 11 months now, and he is wonderful, like so so wonderful. He just slotted in easily.
his training is still pretty much impeccable (bar recall which I let slip a bit, we’re working on it though). He has now started wearing an assistance dog in training vest out of the house. For short Public Access (dog friendly only) sessions with and without our trainer. He almost has one task learned and second is being taught to change it up slightly (I’ve been doing tasks without our trainer, as we’re concentrating on public access with the trainer).
So, basically we are getting on great, it’s not been without its hardships obviously, but it is the best thing I’ve ever done I have to say. Would not be without him now.
I can cope in a garden centre for longer than 5 minutes, I can’t even hear the music whilst he’s with me, which is strange as usually I focus completely on the music.
i attach a photo, with myself very badly scribbled out 😂 he does have3 in training detailed things (chest slip, lead slip and the in training tab on the left hand side) it’s obvious he’s still in training.
im not sure if anyone remembers but thought maybe people would be interested regardless.
