Service Dog Training Day Five


For hours at a time, Nick can sit in solitude and look at books. He looks through the same stack of books over and over, page by page. Each time, it's as if he's reading the book for the first time.

Motivating Nick to engage in other things requires constant work. With his love of tennis balls, it appears Red has taken up some of the task. I guess the picture pretty much says it all. "Nick," Red might be thinking, "I've retrieved the ball and brought it back to you. Could you throw it again?" Every day we've been working on this bonding activity between Nick and Red. Tonight, Nick and Red had a blast.
