Bogey has been an excellent puppy to work with. He is responding really well to his training. He can already come when called, sit/stay, and lie down with just verbal cues. He is doing very well learning how to walk next to his owners powered wheelchair and seems very natural and comfortable with the idea.
Bogey's owners need to put a bit more effort into his socialization. I have given them very specific goals now. They will keep a short journal on his reactions to the specific places, sights, sounds and people that I have instructed them to practice around. Bogey really needs to be relaxed, confident and friendly if he is ever to become a Service Dog. I often encourage people to keep a journal with younger puppies that are being socialized. It helps keep track of the puppy's life experiences and I can get directly involved if a puppy finds a particular activity really stressful. Sometimes even very experienced dog owner's need help teaching proper habituation to their puppy.
