Ryan & Sky had their 6 month retest last night & they passed without any problems! Sky hit the handicap buttons to open up the door on her first try. I was a bit concerned because they don't have opportunity to practice too often. They also walk a dog by Sky to make sure she continues to keep her attention on Ryan & she did super. They got an unexpected second chance to demonstrate it again when they encountered a very small SSD puppy in training in the mall. She did super with leaving any food that was dropped on the floor by the tester. Then Ryan wanted to really show what she could do & managed to drop his whole bag of cut up chicken breast power treats on the floor. She did ignore them, but it was oh so hard.
She showed off all her retrieving skills & we volunteered a few extra demonstrations for good measure. She even demonstrated her new cue "Get help".
They both did a super job. Now we are off to our next adventure. Ryan is going to be having orthopedic surgery & will be in the hospital for at least a week. Sky is coming along. We will see how she likes hospital life.
