A little throwback to one of my training trips to Aldi UK ! 🛒🐕🦺
Supermarkets may look ordinary, but for an assistance dog, they are full of challenges: busy aisles, rattling trolleys, tempting smells, people passing close by and food everywhere!
I practised walking calmly beside my human’s powerchair, staying focused, ignoring distractions and keeping out of everyone’s way. I remained very attentive and followed all my commands—even when my human switched between different languages. Clever pup, aren’t I? 🐾
Apparently, being surrounded by treats does not mean they are all for me… I’m still learning that part! 😄
Please remember: when you see an assistance dog working, give them space and don’t touch, call or distract them without the handler’s permission. 💚
