Well guys, Trigger did it! He graduated from Dolphin Lab! haha. So he ended up doing really well all week! Everyone at work fell in love with him and he was so tired by the end of the week he would just go right into the office and lay down. He got really good at waiting by the door while people went in and out, and he did calm down around the dolphins some...he still gets really excited and thinks they are all his best friends, but he is getting better slowly.
So his graduation day, he had to present what he had learned. His trainer was Jackie and she was working on "roll over" with him. He never fully got it, but he would lay down and then roll like he does for me at home. I told her that was really good progress because he gets so excited at DRC he doesn't want to listen. So for her to ask him to do the same thing there, was really good. So the big time comes for Jackie to step up and show everyone what she has taught Trigger. There was probably around 35 people there, and it was even being videoed, so Jackie comes up and introduces Trigger. The whole time she is talking, Trigger has decided that he needs to mark this presenting area, so he is wandering around peeing on everything. Everyone laughed, but then she tried to get him re-focused and asked him to sit. He looks up at her like he has no idea what she is talking about and then it came...he squats and took a big poop right in the middle of the presenting area! I was so embarrassed, but everyone was laughing so hard I just laughed. And poor Jackie, she was so embarrassed too! Debbie, who is the leader of dolphin lab, came out and explained to everyone that Trigger is a freshman and its just because he has never done this before....HAAA! None the less, Tyler was quite proud and says that needs to be the next behavior I work on...pooping on command! We'll see how that goes.
Anyways...the main point is that he graduated and did really good overall. The more I bring him up there, the more used to it he will get and hopefully he'll be the best student next time he gets to do it! Here are a few pictures...
So tired he could barley hold his eyes open...
Passed out once we got home.
