The End Of The Day


After a long day of training at Home Depot, going to work with Deb for a couple of hours ( where I have to be a good girl and lay under the desk),
and then having the afternoon to play with other dogs....
Lying down next to the newest member of the American Assistance family is a great way to end the day.

Teamo Goes To A Wedding Reception


At the end of May we had a chance to see how Teamo would do in a very controlled environment. We were invited to a wedding reception and Teamo went along. As you can see from the picture the bride and groom were happy to have Teamo at the reception. What a training tool this was. Teamo had to pay attention to me, not the children running about, not the caterer serving the food, just me. Teamo did wonderful. During supper she layed under the table without making a peep. While I was in line getting my food at the buffet table I was able to put Teamo at a down and walk to the end of the buffet table and then come back and get her. Yes, Amazing!
