Meet Caden!
Caden (JLS Leading the Cavalcade) is the boy I'm training to be Grady's successor. He's a lot of fun - pushy, confident, outgoing, and smart! He can also be silly, which has earned him the nickname of "Goober".
Thank you to Julia Soukup for Caden - he's a great dog!
Caden is currently being trained in tasks and public access, and he will begin guide training soon. He is also continuing to train in obedience in preparation to compete in competition obedience, and I hope to put him in an agility class this fall.
A fun part of training a service dog is introducing them to novel situations - in this picture, Caden is standing on a children's ride at the local Sonic. He wasn't fazed at all!
