I feel like a mom who just sent their child to school for the first time! Trigger is participating in Dolphin Lab this week at DRC! Dolphin Lab is an awesome camp we offer at work for kids who are interested in becoming trainers. This week the lab is called "Advanced Training Lab." The kids come and learn everything they could to help with training and how to train a behavior! It's an awesome program because not only do they sit in a classroom and learn about it, they actually get to practice on staff member's dogs! Trigger is one of the students this go round! He gets to come to work with me and his new trainer will work with him 3 times a day and work on teaching him something new. Jackie is his trainer and she is going to teach him roll over! I think he is going to do great if he can focus enough! He gets so distracted by everything at DRC...but I can't blame him because there are so many senses! Cats...Sea Lions...iguanas...chickens...dolphins...fish...lizards...and birds! Who could blame the guy right?! So far things are good! He came with me on Sunday and then we skipped Monday because of the holiday, but then today he got to go by himself! I have Tues. Wed. off so i dropped him off (relunctantly i might add) and went back and picked him up around 4! Everyone said he did really well so I am very proud of him! The best part of camp is that he comes home and passes out on the couch! Sunday night he didn't even care Tyler and I were leaving...he stayed right where he was sleeping away! It is awesome!
Here are a few pictures of him in the office at work...
He LOVED Cheryl's bird Shiz....she ended up having to take Shiz home because Trigger wouldn't stop barking at her! He wanted to play with her so bad! If you look close in the pic. you can see Shiz in her cage on the shelf and Trigger is sitting there staring her down!
What a happy dog! He is doing so great and enjoying it! I'll keep everyone posted with how he does at camp this week!
