Delta Society Evaluation

Well they LOVED Rocky at the Delta Society evaluation. He needs work on his stay so will be re-evaluated in September. They thought he would be fantastic in their program and made me promise to bring him back for another eval. He passed everything else with flying colors.
They were totally impressed with the fact that he's only been with me for 3-4 months and that we did so well together. Can't wait till September! We will be working on our stay and a couple small things until then.
After his evaluation today we went to see the chalk art at the Gateway Mall in Salt Lake City. Very impressive art! Here's a couple of my favorites:

  1. That's fantastic that Rocky did so well. You've obviously done great things with him to have gotten that far that fast. Good luck with the stay.

  2. It took Dixie two testing times to pass the Delta Test - and she has all of her hearing! Make sure you take him back to be retested- he will be wonderful and has such a story to tell! Sounds like they loved him!

  3. He's VERY food motivated so will do anything until he figures out what you want to get his treats or food. I started not giving him his food until he sat, then went to the down, now he has to sit at the end of hall way until I walk to the other end and invite him to come and eat. He did it today after only two days of trying!

  4. Aww - He is such a smart boy! Both of my shepherds are food motivated as well - they especially love garlic chicken and will do just about anything I ask of them! Glad Rocky is doing well! I will watch for his progress on his Delta Test! I know he will pass it and be such a great dog to take on visits to the hospital. We love going to pediatrics and Dixie has her own trading cards!
