October 2010 All grown up and looking fantastic!

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
AAA Canine Training LLC for more info on Therapy training, Obedience
and behavioral modification in the Indianapolis, Indiana area!
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. Carol will continue working and training Dickens as an
assistance dog. 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 and/or
talents he's learned. He's so neat to watch! Now if I could just get
to her to work with some of my dogs! :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.
