Beacon is adjusting very well to our home and his new routines in
Franklin Tennessee. Aside from his overall cuteness, he is an easy
and laidback puppy, anxious to learn and eager to please. Since he
is still so young our training focus right now is teaching Beacon to respond to
his name (responds correctly 90% of the time), no (responds correctly 85% of
the time), to come when called using the ‘come’ command (mastered), to sit
(responds correctly 95% of the time), down (responds correctly 40% of the time)
and stay (responds correctly 10% of the time). He has mastered
walking up steps, but for now we still carry him down the steps (this is common
for young puppies). At 18.4 pounds, I hope he gains the necessary
confidence to travel down steps soon!
A really cute thing we noticed Beacon does is to wag his tail
like a plane propeller – around and around – rather than usual puppy wag of
back and forth. He is one special puppy and we are glad to be
partnering with you to help Beacon become a guide dog for his future lifetime
partner!
