At one point, Rhino's boy got comfortable enough to close his eyes for a while. His mom teared up with happiness because usually the boy is anxious all the time, and is not able to self-regulate in public enough to relax this much. She was astonished and thrilled. Yay, Rhino! Great work, little pup!!!

Rhino joined us at church for the first time today. Lying on a cold, hard floor for an hour isn't fun, but Rhino did great the whole time! After the service, he got a little petting from some friendly girls, and he waited patiently while we visited with other people. Great job, Rhino!

Danny Boy practices Sit-Stay on three different surfaces (and heights). Good boy!

Rhino does great at an indoor lunch. Good boy!

During big Danny Boy's first visit to a restaurant, a panoramic photo was necessary to get him into the shot! :-)

Bank? Post Office? Lena says, "Bring it on!"

There wasn't much room between the table and the wall here, but neighbor table volunteered to share the space between our tables with Harley, thus making him a very happy pup!

Practicing "down" around the potentially scary vacuum cleaner

Just did some training in a nearby park with Harley. We worked on sit, down, stay, and come--challenging since there were so many new smells, plus kids laughing and yelling in the playground (and it's cold out!). We also walked on and sat in some metal bleachers. Harley did a great job!

Waiting patiently for our table.   Harley was so quiet and still, our friends forgot he was at the restaurant with us!
