Zoe's Progress and Newspaper Article

Zoe and I have been going to obedience classes. Because we've been working a lot outside of class, she moved from beginners into intermediate rather quickly. I'm hoping to take her CGC test somewhere around her 1st birthday...which is coming up very quickly! She does a great job in the classroom, but has a tougher time applying that to outside work! Just so many wonderful smells to find!

Here are a couple pictures taken by Katrina Styx of the Jordan Independent newspaper. Zoe and Ruby have become a bit famous in our small town of Jordan. A very nice piece about American Assistance Dogs ran in the Jordan Independent, April 23rd issue. Katrina was able to get some great shots of Zoe working around the house. Thank you Katrina and Jordan Independent for the story and the pictures!

I have to say for a 10 month old pup, I'm very impressed with Zoe's progress in her training. She's at a point now where she loves to learn. She's also developed a rather fun and silly personality...every morning I wake up to slippers in my bed that she has kindly brought to me! Of course, there was also the "open field tackle" performed by her and Monty... thank goodness I landed in the grass!
