This is Dickens. Dickens is the littermate (full brother) to Chip.
Dickens is a "Certified Therapy Dog" through Paws and Think.
He and Carol have worked really hard to get this certification.
The official pet therapy’ certification is AAA/T which stands for Animal Assisted Activity or Therapy certification. You can check out Paws And Think for more info and I encourage you to do so. Per Carol, seizure dogs are hard to train as usually it is instinct. Dickens would be good at alerting for sounds, timers, phones, doorbells. He really gets in your face or gets anxious when they go off. So Carol and Dickens will probably work on that. He can open doors inwards and close them. Carol has really worked so much with Dickens, that I'm always amazed at the his new tricks or talents he's learned. He's so neat to watch! Now if I could just get her to work with his brother, Chip. :o)

Ernie is now known as Dickens - Dickens Fireside Tales At Daz-End. Carol is introducing sign language to Dickens. She has taught him so many things! She demonstrates all the new things he does when I see them. I wish she'd train my dogs... After all, is that too much to ask?
