Echo - Guide Dog

[Boogie]

He is so lovely. What happens if he doesn't progress from beginners, Mags?

He would be withdrawn from training and, if assessed as suitable, trained as a buddy dog or offered to another dog based charity Like medical detection dogs. He’s great with his nose!

Awwww Echo

 

[Boogie]

I’ve heard from Echo’s trainer today. He’s just the same, adored everywhere he goes but sometimes reluctant to take the lead. She says she’s going to persevere for as long as she’s allowed to. All the ‘pandemic puppies’ are taking much longer (understandably) to learn the work and be confident doing it.

So we will wait and see.

 

[Boogie]

Wow!

It looks like he’s done it!

All credit to his amazing trainer who never gave up. He’s two years old

A message from her -

“Hello Mags
Just something for you to ponder over the weekend....
I was wondering if you would like to come and see your handsome young man working?!
If everything continues to go accordingly, he is due to go on Class sometime towards the end of September .
Have a think of what would be a good day for you and I will have a look if at my diary.

Have a good weekend “

Wow!

 

[Loraseal]

Well done Echo.

 

[Boogie]

His proud Mum and sister

 

[Jacqui-S]

You must be glowing with pride!
Though a teensy bit disappointed he isn't a fail for you to take back.....?

 

[Candy]

Oh! Many many congratulations young Echo for passing your training after such a difficult time!
Also to you, Mags for helping this to happen under less than ideal circumstances. GGJ and I hope we can meet up again soon.xxx

Wonderful news x

 

[Boogie]

We had a wonderful, magical time this morning watching Echo work the meeting him in the sandpit back at school. His tail is even swishier and he’s even more handsome. He was paw perfect. He knew us the moment he saw us.

His trainer has a possible match for him so it will all happen quickly from now on. The two people with us are his holiday boarders who also fell for him, as everyone does.

What a beautiful good clever boy

 

[Boogie]

At one point there were two dogs fussing in front of him and he didn’t even look at them.




Another video to show off that amazing tail!

Such a wonderful boy and amazing work you've done giving him the best start and loving him. I know you're a pro at these visits and are so proud of him, but also to you as there have to be a whole bunch of strong emotions going on.

Indeed. I gave him a big snuggle and a kiss and asked him to work hard, play lots and have a very happy life.

I sincerely wish him a long and happy partnership with his new person.
