Hannah has been accepted as a trainee @tyme . Need to meet certain criteria to get accepted. But as an official trainee Assistance Dog now (with MindDog Australia) she can accompany me to any public place. Her training is ongoing, as until they are a trainee you don't have access to public places to train them. We have 12 months to train to the standard required. Then she will need to pass a PAT (public access test) to become fully accredited and thus lose the trainee status. As a trainee, I think the only thing she can't do is go on airplanes. That has to wait until she is fully accredited.
As for the training. I train her myself. But will call on a local MindDog accredited trainer if I need any help with anything. And we need to pass 3 monthly progress tests along the way by an assessor.
That's okay @Blackcloud 😂 you must have thought me a dreadful mum, putting my daughter on a mat on the floor 💕 but totally get the misunderstanding.
@Eve7 🙏💗

Hi @Shaz51
am well have been tripping to Melbourne and back on the train recently watching my son play cricket and seeing friends, does not leave a lot of hours but it is time well spent. On a fairly even keel, medicated of course and awaiting blood test from my Doctor today. I swear I am buying her a new car.
Still, all for a good cause.
Me!!
Just hope my sugars are OK.
Thanks for looking out for me
