Yesterday evening, Duece & I headed into town to pick up some donated training material. This time we put a couple of blankets on the front passenger seat and wrapped a leash around the set to hook Duece in. When I put him on the seat he didn't start watering at the mouth like he did when loaded into a crate. He sat up and looked around a short distance and then lay down on the seat with his head on the console watching me. I was able to talk to him while keeping my free hand scratching him. He was fine until I got out at WalMart when he started drooling and when I get back he had thrown up a little.WHile driving around he sat up a couple of times and drooled a little but preferred to lay down. We had another stop to make and he drooled some while I was away from the vehicle, but overall we had a good trip. He wasn't soaked like he usually was after a ride. We're crossing our fingers and plan to do a bunch more trips before we leave for the NASDN seminar in Nebraska.
Duece's Blog where we keep track of Duece's training. Duece is an Australian Shepherd found at about 3 months old at the Circle of Friends Humane Society in Grand Forks, ND in December, 2008. His name when put up for adoption was "Moon" but because he's our second cadaver dog, we named him Duece and when I found out it was spelled wrong, we left it like that.
We thought we would blog our training experiences as Duece grows up and is on his way to becoming our cadaver dog and other things that Duece teaches us as we go along. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
