Sophie's 1st Trip to Costco

 

      This weekend we took a family trip to Costco. I called ahead to make sure that it would be OK for Sophie to come along. We thought it would be a great opportunity to expose her to a lot of new sights and sounds. Sophie did great as usual! She met each new sound or person with curiosity and confidence.Several employees stopped to meet her and fell in love. They decided she needed to stay and be their "Employee Therapy Dog"! She experienced fork lifts, large loud Televisions, shopping carts, parking lot traffic, check-out lanes and lots of people with a smile and wagging tail! Each time we would stop to look at an item, I taught her to lay at my feet. She was so patient! 

      We worked on making eye contact when I called her name, and sit and downs commands. 

She is doing great about not jumping on people as they great her! But she still loves to lick and is quite a wiggle worm who often ends up on her back getting her tummy rubbed :)
