Training Updates

Gibby has been doing a great job adjusting to her new life as a service dog in training! She is a very excited puppy who absolutely loves putting on her vest and being on her very best behaviour when she goes out in public. However, Gibby’s favourite activity would have to be eating, doing a little dance every time someone picks up her food bowl. She is incredibly smart and will do anything for the right price (one piece of kibble), but when she isn’t eating, you will find her cuddling with one of her raisers or her favourite stuffed dog!

Gibby is a very spunky puppy, growing more and more excited each day to try and find new ways to impress her handler. She has been working very hard on settling practice and has recently made some major progress. Gibby has also been doing a great job making so many good decisions all on her own, going as far as putting herself down for a nap and playing independently with her toys. However, when it’s nice outside and time to play, her favourite activity has been bringing her soccer ball to anyone willing to kick it around with her.
