Well, I've recently been given some good news - my Person has been selected to go on a training course that Guide Dogs Victoria are running - in Tasmania!
The Occupational Therapist and Orientation & Mobility Instructors from Guide Dogs Victoria have put together a program that is designed to help clients learn how to plan a holiday, improve cooking and other 'life-skills' abilities and challenge them to use their orientation skills in a completely unfamilliar environment. There are seven clients and three trainers going to Tasmania for this - and two of us Guide Dogs.
The other Guide Dog who is going with us is Clementine. She and her Person, Maysa, are a little green - they've only been working together for about five months - but she's a great friend to be travelling with.
Of course, I'll have to get my Person (or someone else in the group) to take a few photos so I can show you Clementine and I in action in Hobart.
Well, I'll catch you soon, time for me to get a brushing!
Guide Dog Kenworth.
