I wish I had had this list when I was initially
training Met! The information shared through Sheila
and Grethches experience has been absolutely wonderful
information.
Since I work Met on my right and send him through 99%
of doors first unless they are wide electronic sliding
doors where we can just go as a team, it never dawned
on me how it might be easy to injure a dog going
through doors with them on the left.
I also love the nature of the soft dog. I think for
Met's successor I would still like a dog on the *soft*
side but maybe one a little bit more confident from
the start; however, I would not want one of those dogs
that thinks they know it all and no matter what you do
they think they are boss! NOPE! Not that kind of
teamwork Smile
That said, my issues definitely do affect Met. Its
taken me losing much more vision for our dog issues to
diminish since Met was attacked- gee wonder why LOL
If hot blacktop is an issue though could Gretch wear
boots perhaps? Just a thought. I use them for Met when
its hot. If its hot to the hands touch then imagine
standing on that if you need to stand still for any
length of time.
When IAADP benefits included the discount with
Ruffwear, I was able to get Met those good boots that
are more like real shoes. I don't use them all the
time but when they are needed, it is nice to have them
