Creating a Good Dog

This morning I took my recently adopted retired guide dog to Pet Pantry in Greenwich to meet Peg Munves from The Good Dog Foundation, She had come to town to "evaluate" potential dogs and their people for her set of classes preliminary to serving as therapy dogs in local facilities - nursing homes, etc.
Peg was there, on time, and brought us down one of the aisles, all the while watching to see how Karat (my lab) behaved and responded to my requests. Actually since she's so new to me, I didn't know what to expect. But she did sit, stay, and drop on command. She's not the fastest, but she does obey.
