Myself and training partner Loca have been guest at All Saints Pre school for 3yrs in a row now during their pet month.
It's challenging enough entertaining pre school kids and working a dog in front of them for 30 mins, but this year I wanted to go bigger.
Usually, Loca and I show some flashy obedience, some tug or sleeve play, talk dog safety, etc.
We did that this year too.
However, I managed with little to no push back to recruit two separate clients puppy's.
I was pumped to have adorable pups to add to the intimidating German Shepherd and soften up the presentation.
The day before the presentation I was worrying I got in over my head.
Prep and travel consumed my morning and by the time I was in the school gym unloading the last of my equipment the first group arrived. 90 mins later I drove away exhausted and parched.
However, I couldn't be prouder that we did it. Two groups presentations. 3 dogs, 1 trainer.
I took this challenge to also prove that these pups who both recently completed my board and train program are absolute Rockstars! Their foundation is rock solid!
Not all dogs posses the potential to tolerate this work, let alone this young with a beginners knowledge of obedience. When I can show my clients how special their dogs are, how well they're trained and serve a bigger purpose, that is a great blessing!
