I went to the Kroger Pharmacy today to get a vaccination and brought Helper with me. While we were waiting for the Pharmacist, Helper got a chance to practice the "under" command in the waiting area. She is getting to be a big dog now and weighs 47.4 pounds. Yet she was able to get into position under a small end table. Helper held this position for almost 30 minutes with many distractions...good dog! This is an important command for a service dog because when they are out in public with their partner they often have to go under a table at a restaurant or under at a desk at work etc.
After we left the pharmacy we walked around the grocery store. Helper never pulled to get closer to the food shelves and kept her attention on me. She was perfect!
