Therapy dog Extraordinaire!!

Pepsi Cola has been training for a couple of weeks so that he can be tested to become a therapy dog.  As you know, the trainer at Petsmart who tests for the AKC was very impressed with him. I think I mentioned that he is taking classes for obedience training.

Well, the tester this morning, Johanna, was also very impressed. Johanna was looking at his personality; as well as, completing tasks. He finished most of the test.  Just a couple of items we need to cover next week- walking up to a seated person,  how he reacts to a person walking erratically, and how he reacts to a person rushing around him.

He will also go on 3 visits to facilities where he can be tested around senior citizens, children etc.  The first visit is next week.  If he passes I can send off for his official tag

I was so pleased with Johanna's reaction to him today.  She said he is wonderful and she hasn't met many chihuahuas with a personality like his.  That he will be good at therapy work.  I just hope I can pass!!  lol
