At a night-time festival with a rock concert, Lena and Harley meet a man in a wheelchair (without their vests, so they could get lots of petting). Talk about a lot of different stimuli, and they did great!

Rhino joined us for a belated family Christmas celebration today! He enjoyed lots of petting and attention, happily played with a new dog toy, and had a great time with the kids.

Winter training with the service dogs

Tonight we took Harley and Lena to the Winter Carnival in downtown St. Paul. They did well with the crowds, the ice and mud, the music, and all the other stimuli. And since they weren't wearing their vests, they got lots of petting, which they loved!

Practicing public access

Harley had a BIG day today! After we went to the eye doctor, we took Harley to the mall. We ate at the food court, practiced walking up and down hard, shiny stairs, shopped at a clothing store, and rode the escalator. And he did great the whole time!
