Class was cancelled today, so Darby and I started to work on some things this morning! One of the tasks that is important but not commonly thought of is the ability for the dog to get their own bowl after eating. If someone is in a wheelchair, it is not easy to retrieve a bowl from wherever the dog moved it while eating, so we typically have the dogs get their bowls after eating. Darby didn't seem to like retrieving items or her bowl so this yesterday and this morning, I started having her retrieve her frisbee from UP dog. She was really good at it and super enthused to get, so I moved to a plastic colored bowl to see if she would retrieve that. She picked up on it super quickly! It's amazing to see how quickly she picks up on things and how smart she is!! As I'm writing this and linking the videos, she's sitting by me and watching my laptop with me saying her name on the video! She's such a cutie!
