Eislyn-Therapy Dog in Training

17/08/2020

First day of classes is tomorrow!!! So far I'm loving campus life. There's so many new people and smells.

School is starting soon and I'm so excited to be going with Mom back to campus. Since I'll soon be meeting all sorts of new people I wanted to take this chance to remind people how to interact with a dog you may not know.

Always ask the handler: I'm super friendly and love to day hi to people but sometimes my Mom may not want me to say hi. Right now I'm learning manners and how to act in public so she may not want me to say hi at that moment. I could also not be feeling much like people that day.Just like you we dogs have our bad days and our sick days and we may not want to say hi. Please respect the handler when they say no to you saying hi and petting us.

Let us sniff you: While I love people I like to do a sniff test first. It helps me understand more about who you are and what you do. I can learn a lot in just one sniff. The best way is to calmly offer a closed fist for me to sniff.

Pet us under the chin: I love all pets but it can be intimidating for someone I don't know to be reaching over my head where I can't see. After I've sniffed you, you can pet me under my chin and I'll love it.

When we're done you're done: Again I love people and definitely love attention but I have limits. Sometimes I'm focused on something else or just want to be done. It's nothing personal I'm just done right then. If I turn or walk away then please don't keep me. No one likes being restrained against their will.

I'm super excited to meet all sorts of new people. If you see me around feel free to say hi just remember the steps above. First day of school here we come.

Mom got me the coolest toy. She says I'm spoiled, whatever that means.

Bugs are weird. Taste like chicken.

As a therapy dog I have to get used to all sorts of different things including tiny humans. Today I learned how to play with a 2 year old that has more energy than me.

Don't forget your dog this Independence day.
As the fireworks come out make sure your furry family members stay inside. Thousands of dogs and cats go missing every year because they are spooked by fireworks and some may not return.
Mom is keeping me inside tonight where I feel safe and if I need to go outside she'll come with me and use my leash.
Please take the time to make sure your furry friends are safe and comfortable before you go and enjoy the festivities.
Happy 4th of July!!!!

Mom got me this new life jacket that makes me look like a shark. Now I can swim all day long. I can't wait to go back to the lake.

This summer has already been so much fun. Mom took me swimming for the first time. I chased sticks and swam around with my brother Bo. I didn't want to leave, but Mom promised we would go back again sometime soon.

Welcome everyone to my page. Here you will join my mom and me in our journey to become a Therapy dog team. We will be working with Anthrozoology at Carroll College over this next year. On this page, you can expect cute photos and videos but you can also expect training videos so that you can keep up with our progress. Please feel free to share my page with your friends so that they can watch our progress as well.
