EXAMPLE:
Come When Called:
feel free to add some creativity to your image! just don't go overboard ~
Sit on Command: You can use up to 2 images per exercise. They can be combined to show the command or they can be individual images. Just make sure they're the correct size! Lena starts in a stand then sits when given the command by her handler. Since she's deaf Lena's commands all have visual components along with verbal.
Sociability: lots of strangers! ears are perked, no cowering or aggression showing, and even though she's sitting with her handler her body language is relaxed and she's excited to play once released. |

Registered Name: RFK You For Me Registration Nr: 620008 Call Name: Gavyn Age: ~9 months Link to profile or birth announcement: linkHandler Name: Aisling Devin Excercises: Come When Called:
-click cue- Sit on Command: Sociability:
-crowded café-  Our grounds are vast and open up into woodlands so the click cue is the best and quickest way to get the attention of our dogs. Gavyn has taken to it wonderfully, never hesitates to respond when he hears it. As we're so far away from people we took him to a dog friendly café for his sociability test. He wasn't the only dog off leash but even with all the strange noises, smells, people, and dogs he was happy and ecstatic to meet all the new faces. |

Registered Name: River's Never Back Down Registration Nr: 911001Call Name: Nero Age: 1 year Link to profile or birth announcment: ClickyHandler Name: Enchant Charmers Exercises: Come When Called: Sit, Lie Down, or Stand on Command: Sociability: Nero's training went considerably well. We train our dogs using whistled commands, and most times verbal commands. He didn't hesitate to come. He knew the basic tricks of sit, stay, or lay down. In the beginning, he was a bit too excited because Nero loves the outdoors and he definitely loves the attention. He's a very active dog. Even though we never got Nero as a puppy, as he had came to our kennel grounds at 1 year of age. He's an excellent companion to have. I wanted to work with him personally because his first impression showed the drive that I loved in a dog. To add a little background, I am a physically fit man. I enjoy going out to the gym and lifting weight. So, I decided to take Nero to one of my favorite dog-friendly gyms, where they have a small room-area of a dog daycare for owners to leave their pets for a little while. Instead of working out, I decided to stay and play with the dogs. In the picture above, Nero is around three other dogs, happy as the hyperactive dog he was. He was a bit ecstatic to began playing. It was a little hard to get him to calm down. As you can see, he sat down, a large smile on his doggy-face and he was staring at me with those innocent brown pools. Moments after socializing with these dogs, I finally took them outside where Nero immediately began to run around and frolic with the others. To put short, Nero is definitely a social butterfly. |

She did wonderfully with all the new dogs to met and was very happy to get loved on by all the new Sims. |
