Fizz's morning started out with a trip in to Boston's busy Logan International airport. We went through the parking garage, to the elevator, and down to the baggage claim area of Terminal B. Fizz was excited to meet 2 men in the elevator, and find many families just "sitting around waiting to be greeted" at the carousels. :) The buzzing of the warning bell didn't bother her one bit, and we learned that suitcase wheels are potentially lots of fun (hmmm.......need some proofing on wheels!). We then took the escalator up to Ticketing, and were about to take another one down when a State Trooper spotted us. He pleasantly asked me to carry her, so as not to provide distraction to the working bomb dogs. I know that a puppy's scent is not a distraction to bomb dogs, but I obeyed, and she was carried down the escalator. Another few families to greet, and we were off to the elevator, and back to the parking garage to leave. Another item crossed off the Insane Puppy Plan. :O)
After our trip to Logan, I decided to work Crate Games distractions just before lunch. My treats included some of her very high value rewards, including chicken, and for toys, I chose her 3 favorite tugs. Despite the fact that she was being rained upon through her wire crate, Fizz performed admirably. We also worked a bit of Its Yer Choice with the tug at the end of the video. I'm so excited to be working with such a fun puppy. She has drive, focus, confidence and tons of personality! Just love her to bits!
Warning for those on slow connections: this is a long video (8 minutes).
