Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Doing GREAT!!! OK most of you know that tucker is being trained to be a service dog. well, today i really buckled down and started with his training. he is doing amazing!! thanks to socalyorkilvr for giving me some tips and being so helpful through the whole thing!! but she told me to try doing it right before meal time so he's hungry and will respond to treats. also to do it with his leash on so he has to bring back the object. i did both of those things and he's doing amazing!! he'll get what ever i throw and he gives it back. i started with the leash and now we are at the point where he can do it with out the leash!!!! I am so happy!! i was getting a little worried because he wasn't responding at all, now he's doing amazing!!! i'm going to do this for a little while everyday until he really understands. I think he'll be a great service dog soon enough!! thank you everyone on YT for the encouragement all along the way, and a special thanks to socalyorkilvr for all the great help/advice the whole time!! YOU GUYS ROCK!

| Megan has the patience of a saint! When we got our lab, Rusty, he was over a year old. She worked with him all of the time and taught him to sit, come, stay, roll over, play dead, cover (his nose), high five, and I've probably forgotten a few! When she puts her mind to it there is no stopping that girl!

| I can surely feel your excitement on the progress that Tucker is making. I am thrilled for the both of you. Especially you for making the time to work so much with him. I also think it is so wonderful to see SoCalYorkiLvr helping you out so much. I find it awesome to see Yorkie Talk members working so close together to make our Yorkie's the best possible. So proud of all of you!!

| My Tucker is kind of a dummy. He's a really good boy, but he can't do anything! We've tried and tried, but he just doesn't get it! Most of the time we just wind up laughing at him! Good job Megan!
