Service Dog in Training at County Fair

Service Dog in Training "Malik" visiting the county fair for the first time. This video includes a lot of RAW footage showing him first walking into the Fairgrounds and passing things he has never before seen. This dog is already capeable of handling very crowded, busy stores and loud packed dog show venues. So this is a step up, but one he is prepared ahead of time in training to try. It is NEVER reccomended to bring a dog without this previous level of training into an environment as intense as this. This dog is NOT a pet, he is training to be a mobility service dog and may need to work in a place like this in his future. Please do not force your pet dog into a venue like this. If you choose to bring a dog into such a place who IS training to be a service animal, ensure they have many previous and scussful training in loud and crowded environments prior to trying anything at this level. You could easily overwhelm and blow out your training animal by bringing then early. Malik worked here for around an hour, and we ended and left on a positive note. He made many fabulous improvements on some things and gave me some ideas where I should work him in the future on areas he had a little hesitation in. I hope by uploading this video includes it's nearly RAW form you can view his moments of hesitation and see how we navigate thrm, to help you in your own training adventures. www.nordicwoof.org
