Dixon's last agility class

In June he did his first feature Film (Titled "Francine") which releases this year.

He was well...wild. The most notable scene is a trashed house of an animal hoarder. Dixon and his work buddies are "creating chaos", Dixon was so expert at this they couldn't hear the actors lines over him.

The American Humane Association rep on hand during filming agreed that I really really hand my hands full, but it had only been a month Dixon and I were together so he excepted LOTS of progress.

In November Dixon did a commercial for a big cell brand. It was the same AHA rep, he was nervous remembering Dixon and how admittedly out of control he was not 5 months before. Well Dixon was a rock star, he chased the ball maybe 500 times and brought it back for the talent every time, it was...amazing...

We decided to get his CGC and TDI after that and once he had that I signed him up for agility.

He was great at agility, unfortunately he was so happy to be there and so happy he forgot himself and would actually fall off the equipment (dog walk and teeter especially).

His fifth class he had his worse two runs, one he pooped on the dog walk, the other he went off course in search of water.

So I was determined, just determined that his last class would be good.

He had three perfect runs, almost completely off leash.
He was amazing at the weave poles the teacher was completely stunned, "oh my god! He found his feet!"

They're bright white! It's about time!

We'll be taking his public access training in about three months, and he will then be considered a fully qualified service dog. Just...wow, a year to go from nervous, and untrained, to a qualified service dog. I'm so proud of him.
