Huxley the Labrador has completed his 3 week assistance dog residential stay with us
When Huxley arrived, his owner needed help with his pulling on the lead and excessive hormonal sniffing since he’d managed to pull her out of her wheelchair. She also wanted help with completing his silver assistance dog award and building reliability with some task training
During the 3 week stay, we’ve taught Huxley to ‘go sniff’ on cue so that he can sniff and pee when cued rather than dragging his owner over to smells constantly. We’ve also taught him good lead manners so he doesn’t throw himself to the end of the lead around other dogs.
Huxley arrived with a good understanding of the silver award, so we’ve spent time ensuring he can respond to all of his cues around distractions and in lots of different environments. We’ve also progressed him through his Gold award as he was struggling to focus around other dogs, children and when off the lead.
In addition to this, we’ve taught him ‘food refusal’ and started his medical alert training to detect garlic in food due to his owners food allergy. We’ve also progressed his retrieve from only picking up toys to picking up and retrieving non toy objects.
Huxley has been able to practise all of these new behaviours in lots of new and busy environments, getting him ready to pass his awards for his owner and to get ready for public access training
