All work and no play, makes for a long day.
Yes, my work as a trained Service Dog requires constant vigilance and strict attention to detail.
But sometimes my mom and I have fun together. It’s important to our relationship that we enjoy each other.
Here you can see my friends Wilhelm and Lilly as they hold a sit stay to entertain their trainers on the chess board. They took the role of the knight which seemed appropriate for these two service dogs who work to protect their partners.
The sit stay behavior is very useful for service dogs and can also be a lot of fun. We get to sit in the most fun places sometimes. We get to sit at parks and watch kids and families play. We get to sit and watch movies with our partners. We even get to sit and watch as they have friends and family over to their houses for the holidays. It’s great to be a part of someone’s life and to be responsible for their safety.
