your welcome Karyn.
I have moved on to the nylon service dog harness from Bridgeport. I can attach
my side bags on it and keep things like my hearing aide batteries, Clyde's seat
belt, and some chews for Clyde in them. I can also carry the ID I got from
activedogs.com in the widow for it. I know we don't need ID's but it was so
much easier when I had Buckley and the program issued an ID for us that I
wanted the same thing for Clyde. it has Clyde's picture on it and the ADA, DOT
and FAA laws and numbers on the back. I also carry these cards that say the
ADA info on them and that if the person questioning has asked for papers or ID
then it is against the law.
I have noticed that Clyde doesn't like putting a harness on.... I have to say
in a firm voice "Clyde come" and he will but I wish he would get into it
without problems. I give him a treat when we are done. is there any
suggestions on how I can get him to like it??
Clyde is doing better on heeling. he doesn't lag behind that much now. he
sits 100% of the time and downs 100%. now we have to start working on stays.
class starts on the 17th but if we have a head start then we will be able to
pass the CGC the first time through.
there has been talk of the Rochester Dog Obedience Club shutting down due to
lack of interest in club members. we are a non-profit club and I am a board
member . I have helped classes for several years and run the table for sign up
and getting people ready for class. this means no more free classes for me if
we shut down and the only person around that does clicker training besides the
board are $90.00 for a 6 week coarse. to much for me. I only get $650.00 a
month and that goes for rent and utilities and food.
enough babbling , Ridge and Clyde SDiT

Subject: (VICT) Harness-Ridge Thankyou
I just got the Premier 5 point harness today for Thane. He has been a bit
under the weather (runs) so we are not training much now until his tummy
settles but I wanted to thankyou for your input on this harness. It really
looks like its gonna be the perfect solution- of course adjusting it o na
dog who I still have not taught to stand on command is quite the tricky
thing... why oh why does he think he should lay down and roll over LOL
I'm just being silly by that comment. I got a bunch of other training
materials today as well so we hopefully will begin to make progress once his
tummy settles better... No more Bully Bites for Thane!
