I imagine he’ll go home exhausted after playing with Spencer for four days! He does have two dog friends at home - a pug and a French bulldog, so I don’t think he’ll be overwhelmed.

Aww enjoy the holiday Chaz. It'll be a happy reunion when his young owner comes home.

I took Chaz to the park today while Mr Boogs took the other two to the res. We are not allowed to free run any pups or dogs until we’ve had them for two weeks, so I had him on the long line. He was super well behaved and loved a long sniffy walk.
On the way to the park and on the way home it was amazing walking with a ‘professional’. The difference was really noticeable. He guided me! He stopped at all kerbs, up and down. He took me round corners to cross at safe places and didn’t walk forward when I asked him to if a car was coming. It was really noticeable how far ahead he was scanning and thinking ahead. All this and, of course, he didn’t even have his harness on.
Amazing - and a new experience for me.

Really inspiring too I guess.
And a big reinforcer to keep walking and training your babies.

How wonderful! It's people like you though that set the foundations, though I could definitely fall for him.

Wonderful, incredible, I'm constantly in awe of what these dogs do.
I read a newspaper article recently stating that dogs are not as 'bright' as we previously thought, are in fact on a par with pigeons etc. Damn sure I wouldn't trust a pigeon to get me safely across the road.

That must be both rewarding and fantastic to have chance to walk a trained Guide Dog.
