So... I have been a bad blogger :/
But that doesn't meen I haven't been a good puppy raiser! Carrie and I have been doing all sorts of fun things- some of them are more fun for me than her ;)
Lately, we have been working on food refusal. Food refusal is an important part of a guide dog puppy's job. If Carrie makes it as a guide, she will have to ignore the constant food distractions in order to focus on her job.
I first started working on this with her when she was really small. Up until recently, I haven't tried anything other than her dog food and any food that we happen to walk past at the high school.
Now that I have been focusing on it, I am having a lot of fun! She is just soo good at it! She sits still while I arrange the food and then just stays while I reward her every once and a while.

I haven't tried anything more enticing than the frenchfries but I am hoping to be able to get her up to hotdog.
Think she can do it?
