Another busy day of training. Today we tracked again at another park. Uncle Pat & mom hid with Danny while Aunt Madonna, dad, and the trainers went with Kermit to track. None of them knew where Danny hid. Kermit did his job and sniffed out his boy! How wonderful is that. Watching a dog search is an amazing experience and makes one realize what a gift from God these dogs really are. We learned how to place the dogs under a table at a restaurant and also how to walk the dogs with a grocery cart. They all acted like pros! Another thing we learned was some behavior disruption commands. One was lap. If Danny becomes upset or has a seizure, we can command Kermit to lay down on Danny. We learned how to teach Kermit to intervene unwanted behaviors such as sucking a thumb or biting on hand. We also learned how to teach Kermit to recognize one of Danny's seizures in the event he is too far away to scent it. This way when he hears Danny seize (since his ears are much stronger than ours) he can alert us to go to Danny. After dinner dad & mom took Kermit to a store that is much like a super Walmart. Kermit is such a pro. He acts as if he's a professional shopper!
