Cuteness from today.
Christmas 2013 at 10 months of age, Blossom was placed into a loving home with 3 children to continue her training. Her training will continue with the mother attending weekly training sessions with her service dog trainer. Blossom and UB will meet each other weekly to train as well as to romp and just be dogs.
Our goal will be at 1 yr to pass her CGC test (Canine Good Citizen ) and begin to do AAT (Animal Assisted Therapy) in her home/ and volunteer in her community . Blossom will continue to learn alerting skills to assist her new mother. Our goal is to be able to mature and complete training and pass her skills test and Public Access Test at 2 years of age to become a Certified Medical Alert Service Dog.
