Kermit began attending the MAAP program with Danny the week of Thanksgiving. We are so excited and also grateful. The staff have been so patient with Kermit as he transitions into his new role. It's pretty confusing for Kermit. After all, not only the staff but the participants as well are all adults. Kermit has to learn who exactly is in charge? Some of the staff have been around dogs, some have no experience at all with dogs. We still have some kinks to work through of course but are confident in Kermit. He is such a smart dog and really does aim to please.
Perhaps the thing we've noticed the most is the almost immediate improvement in the bonding between Danny & Kermit. Being together all day seems to really be having a positive effect on their bonding. The bonding is so important to promote and enhance seizure alert and assist. The closer they are and the more time they spend together, the more Kermit can do his job in helping us to keep Danny safe and free of injuries.
