Catching up with Cable

 Let's catch up on what Cable and Amanda have been doing over the past few weeks.

They've learned to ride public transit in Newmarket.  

Learning to ride the bus.

                                                    Finding and waiting at the bus stop.

Learning to navigate the mall-- lots of exposure to distractions for Cable to learn to ignore.

                                                         Cable's first time at a wedding!

Cable had fun at Marques Family Farm, meeting different animals and helping Mandy pick a pumpkin.

Such a funny puppy.  When she's off duty Cable loves to run and play with Kira and Galaxy, and always chooses to squeeze into small spaces... like the fire pit!  

Cable has had the opportunity to train alongside Brooke's ambassador dog, Casey.  All of the pups were together for a group session this month.

Cable is doing so well in public places and is growing excited to practice her tasks at home.  Last week she had to guide Amanda home twice after some cluster seizures.  She responds immediately to a finger snap which Amanda uses to alert Cable that a seizure is coming on.  She is doing so well at pulling the bathtub plug.

Last Wednesday Amanda made a speech at the Optimist Club, to thank them for their contribution to Cable's training, and to explain some of the many tasks Cable performs to keep Amanda safe in the community.  She ended her speech by saying, "Before, I could never have imagined myself with a service dog.  Now, I can't imagine myself without one."
