Day 8 – Training with London

London and I slept in this morning. It’s a lot of hard working learning about each other! Once Mommy woke us up we started our morning at the 4 Paws for Ability facility. I watched some Dora and Diego with my new friends while Mommy and Daddy worked with London. Today they worked on healing while pushing a shopping cart. They also worked more on obedience  with distractions. The trainers at 4 Paws are so wonderful. They take time to answer all of Mommy and Daddy’s questions and have great ideas for how to continue with London’s Training.

After they finished with obedience we headed out to the park for more tracking. I LOVE when London comes to find me. As soon as I can see her I start yelling “London, my London”! Today my friend’s Mommy hid with me. This may not seem like too big of a deal, but it means that I was the only recognizable scent for London to track. She found my scent so quickly and confidently again. It is truly amazing to see her find me. Mommy and Daddy are working hard to be able to read all of London’s body language to be able to become their own little search and rescue team if I ever need it.

We ate lunch at Chick-fil-a with London sleeping under the table and then set off for an afternoon at the mall. We started with indoor tracking. I “got lost” in Sears 3 times and London was able to find me every time! Have I told you how amazing she is yet?

Here is a video of our train ride!

The last time I “got lost” I ended up in the Clearance shoe section, and found new Doc McStuffin’s shoes and pink shoes for my sister super cheap! Next we walked around the mall with one of the trainers to continue with more obedience training. London is doing so well! She has such a sweet personality and is so full of love for me. Our trainer gave us a few pointers and lots of praise for how well London was doing, then sent us off to practice on our own. Guess what we got to do… London and I took a train ride around the mall! It was so much fun!

Back at the hotel we ate dinner and then got to face time with my brother and sister! I love to show off all of London’s tricks to them. I can’t wait to get home to introduce them to London! Remember to look for today’s pictures.
