Murphy is still a puppy.  He's learning many things and the obedience is very important.   He needs to be polite to his partner, allowing him to get in an out of buildings without knocking into him or pushing him over.  This is harder than you would think.  People are moving, the door is moving, Murphy is still outside when his partner crosses the door threshold but as you can see, it make life easier for his partner when he politely waits.  

Murphy is also learning a game that has a productive twist to it.  He's learning how to use his nose to find hidden treasure!  There is a toy hidden under one of those cones and when he finds it, he gets rewarded.  Its a fun game!

Murphy is a Yellow Labrador Retriever who has begun his training to becoming a service dog.  His focus right now is socialization and obedience. He has been in training for a couple of months now.  Look at how well he has been doing from the start! 

Just this past weekend, Murphy received a very generous gift from Piceron Giordano Construction.  This K9 Puppy Starter Kit will help Murphy and his handler settle into routines and keep Murphy safe and comfy.

We will be sharing Murphy's journey as he grows and becomes his handler's service dog.  Stay tuned for the adventures!
