I came home from a friends house today and was quite surprised to find a report on Dembre. I wasn't expecting it, because according to our schedule we were supposed to get in on the last Wednesday of the month. I guess his trainer just sent it early.
Dembre COMPLETED ALL HEALTH EXAMS!!!!!!!! That means his hips, knees, and eyes are all functioning well enough for him to be a service dog. Once again he has been mounting dogs in the play yard, but "will stop for a short time with correction." His trainer also mentions that she is "not terribly concerned" with this behavior. Still, I hope that he doesn't continue with this behavior. It doesn't seem like it will get him released, but it's still a negative behavior. Other than that he's doing really well! Dembre is reviewing basic commands and learning retrieve, get, hold, and push. I'm thrilled that he is progressing in his advanced skills. According to his trainer he has done great out on field trips!
His overall progress is mostly marked under moderate, which CCI tends to like. The only thing marked high is motivation.
I'm so proud of that dog!!!! I have prayed that he'll do well and so far he has, but there is still more than three and a half months to go. Wherever he is, is where he belongs.
