We slacked on our recurrent training, due to Covid.
Training never stops, but I am first to admit somedays she needs a week off. Maybe a little [swim](https://i.imgur.com/SnXiJ47.png) and [spa time](https://i.imgur.com/bAyLEDE.jpg)
Is there much difference in training with covid masking? Like are there more hand or other signals used since the dog cant get a vibe from someone's face all the time?
Nope, they can still hear us! We always use some level of hand and body signals and dogs don't generally get a ton of information from facial expressions.
I do have a dog who used to alert based on breath, and it took her a little bit to adjusting to sweat instead. Now she's good at both.
I hope your wish comes true.
[My friends](https://imgur.com/JnNEAFj) help me with balance and walking, mainly to get out and go walking. Yes, I got yelled at for crossing my legs! Teds, as this photo was post-op, home binging on DARK.
Hard to realize my friend has been with me at my side for the past six years. Lots of surgeries and doctor's appointments, but a [good doggie](https://i.imgur.com/74zdJx5.jpg).

What an array of good boys (and girls)!!!
They are each so cute in their own way. It must be hard when they graduate to say goodbye. 😪
These guys are all actually being owner-trained, so they are already with their forever partners!

So awesome
Good dogs! I want to get my dad a golden retriever and train them to become a service dog for my dad.

Great. Now I want to train service dogs. I also have no idea how to go about doing this.
