Day 5 has been a hectic one. We began back in the training room asking questions and going over much of what we’ve learned. We also received Flo’s service vest. This is a red vest that has the 4 paws logo and a patch that allows people to know she’s a service dog.
After the training session we headed back to the park for some more tracking. We hid Jordan even farther away and Flo worked like a champ to find her successfully! Even in the rain!
After we left there and had lunch we headed to the mall. This is the first time we’ve been out in public with Flo. We had to walk all over the mall and I must say I was a little nervous. There were many things going through my mind such as if people were staring at us even more than usual. Or is Flo going to poop in the floor?
But all in all we all did great. The only thing that Flo didn’t like was when we entered the pet store. There were dogs and cats making noise and I’m sure the smell wasn’t helping either. We’ll just have to practice more to get her used to it. I keep having to remind myself that she’s only 11 months old.
Something else awesome happened today. Some students from Wright University helped us with a Trunk-Or-Treat in the lobby of the Hotel we’re staying at. All the kids from class and their siblings enjoyed dressing up in their favorite costumes and received toys and candy. The kiddos seemed to enjoy it very much.
It has been a busy day but we’ve had a lot of fun! I’m going to cut it short tonight as I’m getting tired and tend to missspelll things lol….
