I am ELATED to announce that Eli is now officially RBIS GrCH 'PR' AliAK's Aint No Mountn Hi Enf, CGC, TDI!!!
Eli and I went for his CGC/TDI tests this afternoon, and he passed with flying colors!!! I'm so incredibly proud of him. He was totally unphased by the use of walkers and crutches in the "walk through crowd" part, and was more than happy to cuddle with the elderly woman testing the "greet people" portion of the TDI. The "distraction/startling noises" part was very difficult, as it involved a girl shaking a can full of coins and pulling a wagon across our path. Eli just kept walking like "What noise?? We're out for a walk!". I'm so proud because I had a few nice comments about how well he stayed and recalled, especially being a northern breed.
It's especially wonderful because both Eli's grandsire and dam are therapy dogs. There aren't many AKK who are therapy dogs, and I'm so proud that Eli is a great ambassador for the breed.
After we got our results:
Yay! I'm so excited to start therapy work with him! He's such a good boy.
