I forgot to post this but Ranger did AMAZING on our airport trip on the 30th and he did try to get up on the landing but honestly, I felt the immense pressure on that landing and I knew he was uncomfortable but he went right back down!!! He did also fix himself when we passed another service animal and looked back at them but looked ahead before I realized and said “leave it”, I love how perfect he was.. Enjoy our video!! I absolutely love Ranger and this made me so incredibly proud of him! Again, THANK YOU Amanda for your help leading up to this trip!!

When we first get to the shore Amica and Riley avoid the water, then they will barely get their feet wet, and run from the waves. I started tossing their orange Chuck It ball closer and closer to the water, until it went in the water. Riley would go in the water, but Amica would wait for her ball to wash back on the shore. We did a little desensitization & threshold training by walking up & down the shore. This was challenging for me not to rush the process, because I love the water — 🌊 It Calls Me. 😉 But it doesn’t call Amica. 🤣 I wanted to have her enjoy swimming in the ocean, but she was good with just getting her paws wet. It was fine to readjust my goal, so that she would trust the process. My ultimate goal is for her not to just tolerate walking in the ocean, but actually enjoy it, so baby steps. She did get the water up to her knees at one time when a wave rolled in. 🤭

I was cleaning the bathroom room she was in the other room and all of the sudden I felt a nudge and a paw and then a nudge again she woke up out of a dead sleep to let me know I need to sit she came before Bo felt it I’m so proud of her
