Diary of a Dog (Training to Hopefully Become a Therapy Dog)

It’s been quite a while since I updated you all on my latest adventures and future life plans. I’ve been doing fabulously well, my training is progressing nicely and I really can’t wait to get out there and start doing some work with the CARE4MH Team. My manners are pretty good now and I’m mostly doing as I’m told. I love spending time playing on the beach, practicing my manners every afternoon, playing with my toys, and of course lying on my back snoring the house down 💤

But, what I’ve been busting to tell you is that there is something very exciting planned for me in December….I’m booked to go to a training farm stay with Therapy Dogs Australia!!! This will be a great opportunity for the Therapy Dogs Australia trainer to check me out and give me some pointers to be ready for 2024. I’m hoping next year I’ll be ready to do the clinical course with Rhonda and finally graduate as a therapy dog! Stay tuned for some holiday spam! 

​Until next time,
