The Meat Section!
Dogs have an incredible sense of smell… and let’s be honest, one of their favorite smells in the world is meat 🍖 🥩
So when a service dog walks past the meat section at a grocery store, it can be a very tempting situation.
But a well-trained service dog learns something very important:
Ignore the food and stay focused on the handler!
No:
• Sniffing
• Licking
• Jumping
• Trying to investigate the shelves
Instead, the dog should be calmly walking with their handler and checking in for guidance.
In this video, you’ll see Saffy the black lab doing exactly that — walking past the meat section while staying focused and ignoring the food!🐕🦺
Great job, Saffy and handler Training moments like this help build reliability so service dogs can confidently accompany their handlers anywhere they’re needed.
💬 Question for you:
If your dog could choose one aisle in the grocery store to live in, which one would it be? 😂🐾
