Shamrock is in phase 1! In this phase, he is learning to associate a clicker with rewards, learning the precise positions he needs to be in with a handler, and learning to refuse food from others/on the floor in all situations. He will be introduced to the harness and treadmill, as well as learning early pattern work for guiding like learning how to stop at curbs and watch for obstacles both around and above a person. We're all cheering you on, Shammy! #shamrock #5P70 #guidedogsfortheblind #formaltraining
