Dear Beth and Robyn,
I am proud to announce that Gabby passed her temperament test for Support Dogs. She will begin her Therapy of Unique Canine Helpers (TOUCH) training in January.
The test involves basic obedience commands, walking through crowds on a loose lead, walking over a grate, loud noises, ignoring cookies on the floor, having an umbrella and sheet flapped at them. Gabby went through the first part of the test with me then a ‘stranger’ takes her through the same test while I am out of the room.
She breezed through the test.
Please don’t think that this is a ‘piece of cake’ test. Fifty percent of the dogs fail, and you only get one chance to take the test. No do overs. It sounds like a WAC except no gun shot and no bad guy.
