Training Day 3-4
Many new commands have been given to us these past two days. To many to list out and explain! Zeppelin is just perfect. He does what you ask him to do, with some mistakes on my part that make him loose focus on the task. After review with the trainer, I have learned to better understand how the dog responds, how I should be correctly giving commands and how to praise and reward a job well done. Zeppelin has yet to alert to any blood sugar changes with Elisabeth, but as per the trainers, he has the scent learned, he just needs to learn her behavior and we need to closely watch for his way of alerting.

| Doing the lap command, part of behavior disruption with Eddie |
Today is Sep 21st, we had our first outing as a group at the fairfield commons mall. A trainer walked around the mall with each of the handlers and their dogs to address and concerns with being in public and work on the basic commands we have been taught. Before our turn, I practiced getting around by myself with kids and dog in toe. Once again Zeppelin did a wonderful job. He was a bit unsure of Eddie's convaid chair but soon got use to walking near it in the heel position.

| Lunch at the mall. Tables are two small at the mall for Zeppelin to place himself completely under, so I keep a good eye on his tail. |

| Already a pro |

| I always SMILE! |

| Walking all together now... |

We had a few headaches with our room when we arrived on Monday. In a nut shell, we reserved a two bedroom suite because my mom was going to join us. They had given our room to another family and gave us two rooms next to each other. Moved in, unpacked, and the air conditioning unit is raining water on us. Repacked, moved into second room. The manager comped the first two nights stay for both rooms and by the third night had us in a 2 bedroom suite for the price of a single room suite. First night in the 2 bedroom and our toilet overflows!!!
Today we got back to our room we found a gift for Zeppelin and a note from the manager
Eddie loves his dog, they both practiced behavior disruption, but not without
some distractions from his boy.
Cuddle time with his girl Elisabeth.
