Chilling like a true mobility assistant. This is an important personality trait for mobility assistance dogs because we spend a lot of time chilling waiting for the next time our humans need help. Sometimes I still get a little antsy, but I've improved and that's what matters... plus, I love sleep. #servicedog #servicedogintraining #cfservicedog #sdit #ownertraining #livelaughbreathe #workingdog #mobilityassistance #mobilityservicedog #sleepypuppy #finnthedog

It is not the most pleasant day out there but it could have been worse. No freezing rain...yet. I explored the side trails off the main trail behind the house with the dog. They aren't long but would be fun to run in a fartlek workout. But that will have to wait a while. At least I got my mile walk in as I rehab the knee.

A day when you eat with a toddler and all the spilt food is still on the floor at the end of dinner is a good day. This is one of the basic manners that I was taught when we started my service training. Today was a little bit of a different dining experience. My family ate at a Mongolian grill and my human wasn't sure what to do with me because I would walk past uncooked food and where they cook the food. We politely ask the manager and she was very helpful. She told us that we were free to go through the line per ADA law, but that it would be courteous to leave him at the table for food safety and allergy reasons. My human decided to leave me at the table since she was feeling physically ok and my medical alert task is one performed at the table. We are still just a baby service team, so we are constantly learning through the different experiences we encounter on a daily basis. #servicedogintraining #servicedog #cysticfibrosis #sdit #livelaughbreathe #finnthedog #cfirl #leaveit #cfservicedog #purplevest #mobilityassistance #medicalalert

My workout partner tonight figured out quickly what the treadmill was for. I was supposed to swim tonight but storms changed that plan. So I did a short recovery jog on the treadmill, then hit the weights under Finn’s watchful eye. The 300 swim time trial will have to wait.

Time adventuuuuure!

One of the most beneficial pieces to my training has been a weekly foster dog "class" that we attend at the shelter that our service trainer works at. I have always had a lot of trouble focusing around other dogs. This is the perfect setting for us to train because it's always business-face here and the dogs are different each week (also meaning that they got united with forever families!), so I get exposed to many different types of dogs. Another bonus is that it's free since it's a class of volunteers. So if my human isn't feeling up to going, we don't have to stress about missing. : #servicedog #servicedogintraining #sd #sdit #cfservicedog #ownertrained #ownertraining #alwaysintraining #fromsheltertohelper #fosterdogs #livelaughbreathe #positivevibes #radiatepositivity #adoptionsaveslives #finnthedog
