​​Sandy - HLAA-CS Chapter's newest member!  Sandy is chapter member, Kathy Romberg's,  Hearing Ear Dog in training.  Watch for Kathy's  monthly training updates. 
​ 
Sandy Notes: I'm a good boy. I'm a smart boy. I can heel and front for treats, and without treats! Kathy mixed me up, but Dave fixed it. Next are field trips. Not sure what they are… I did hear bunnies and chickens. I see chickens when we walk. Kathy doesn’t walk that far. The other human won’t let me taste the eggs I find in the field. Barbeque? I’ll tell you about it when I find out. Dave says it is his fav.
Kathy Training: We did it! Sandy has passed Basic training amid a fair amount of chaos. He is ready to go on to Intermediate Training. We will go to public places that welcome pets and retrain him to do everything that he did in basic with major distractions. Dave has chosen a sequence from moderate distractions like treat aisles at PetSmart the baby chicks at Big R, ending at the zoo. For me that is scary, though I love the zoo. We will also have a good meal at Dave’s favorite Barbeque places.
