Molly's TDI class

Over time, we have gotten several phone numbers of people who do training for therapy dog work. We called them all, and only one got back to us. So we decided to go through her. She does training for TDI/CGC test, and her name's Kathy. Due to the fact that my family is not rich, we decided to do 1 dog at a time. After some thought, I picked Molly. She's older and more mature, but enjoys training.(sometimes I think more than Kirby) I must be lazy, because I also know it will be easier training her in the long run. Supervised separation would be tough on Kirby. He was fine with me leaving him alone till he hit puberty then - whamo! Clingy Kirby. He getting better though. When we practiced it with Molly at her first class on Monday. She didn't care that I left - but Molly jumped on the person holding her when she touched her. I'd rather that to stress. We practiced 'leave it' & sound distractions as well. Also Molly isn't as dog distracted as Kirby. Plus once Molly's certified she'll have less time to visit before she'd have to retire. Kirby can be trained at home and at 4-h while I work on his dog detracting.(?) Anyway, with any luck, Molly will be a certified TDI dog within 2 months.
