[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 544277, member: 11791"] Lisa... you won't run out of "commands". You'll start stringing them together. Goggle 'rally-o'. We don't compete - just do it for ourselves, but it gives the dog a real brain workout. You set up a "course" and they have to walk beside you and follow a string of expectations, some of which are not commands (walking faster or slower and they have to keep pace with you). You can also work on therapy dog certification requirements (whether you pursue certification or not). Sounds like you're kind of doing that already. Maybe even train her as a service dog - not a seeing eye dog, that's a whole different ballgame. But a service dog. Certified, with vest. So that she can go EVERYWHERE with Travis. This does require certification. But... even just having that size of dog along is a big safety win. And with service dog certification... they can even go into grocery stores etc. - they are no longer pets. [/QUOTE]
