March 2025 Pupdate for Trilby

Posted 3/20/2025

Trilby has had another wonderful month in his guide dog training! He is an exceptionally sweet dog with a silly personality that always brings a smile to everyone around him. Whether it's cuddling up for some affection or going on sniffy walks, Trilby thrives on attention and love. In training, Trilby is working hard on focusing around distractions, navigating new environments, and preparing for traffic training. Once he understands a new concept, he’s a total superstar, consistently performing well and showing how smart and willing he is to work. Trilby’s favorite reward for good work is snuggles—he loves being the center of attention and seems to thrive on positive reinforcement. His sweet and eager nature, paired with his willingness to learn, make him a joy to work with. I am excited to see his continued growth and can’t wait to see how he takes on the next stages of his training!
