Cues, Cues everywhere!

Winston has been very bored, and i'm afraid it is going to continue for quite a bit longer. First it was a lot of Paws Abilities work, and now it seems as though i've caught one heck of a respiratory infection. No outings for me means no outings for the Stone. We have however been working more and more on "trash!" which is incredibly exciting. I was having a lot of difficulty but thankfully the head trainer at SSD broke it down into smaller steps to try and vuala! Winston suddenly began catching on. My goal of a new cue each season is coming along quite well!

Over the summer Winston learned "elbow" - the repositional cue for him to push my elbow back onto my wheelchair
Over the fall Winston learned "hug" - the cue for Winston to come up onto my footplates and rest his head on my shoulder

I've also been spending quite a bit of time gathering all of Winston's photographs. I want to finally put together the absolutely amazing scrapbook that our good friends Sam and CPL Ivy started for us!

We'll wrap up with a photo of Winston that although it isn't the best, it show's his wonderful winter collar that I purchased for him at Target!
