For those who have been working with me recently, they were aware that I was having abdominal surgery, which was today.
It’s all finished and I’m home now. However, my service dog, Murphy, hasn’t left my side since we got into bed.
While away from me he was calm and relaxed while laying down in the waiting room with my spouse for several hours. Multiple veterans at the VA today gave him so many compliments about how calm he was and how well-behaved he was, even when people were activly trying to get his attention, remarking that their dogs could never be like that.
And while Murphy was selected by a professional trainer to become a service dog, based on workability and temperament, I have to remind people that when he’s not working he’s a normal goofy dog. He gets to play and run around and occasionally decide that listening isn’t worth it. And that’s okay.
If you see a service dog out in public and wish your dog could be that calm, or listen that well, or ignore people when they try to distract your dog?
You can achieve that level of calm and attention!
