Visited the Galleria

Kiya visited the Galleria shopping mall last night. We worked on heeling, sit, down, stay, recall, down-under, other basic obedience commands. We also did the handicap door buttons and elevator buttons. We walked as close as we could to the railing on the second floor of the mall. That was interesting.

Kiya will go right up to windows that are 5 and 6 stories high. She gets right up next to the window and looks straight down without a problem. She will NOT get closer that 2 ft. to a railing that is on the second floor or higher. Obviously, there are issues when it's open versus closed like a window.

So whenever we are out, we'll have to try to pick places that are multiple stories with a railing overlooking the floor below.

Kiya does really well with the door buttons. The bigger ones are easiest. There are some very small ones that are 1 in X 2 inch rectangles. They are so small, I question if someone in a wheelchair could even get close enough to push it. Kiya is pretty good with accuracy and really enjoys it.

I am still working on her ability to fetch things. I will have to start over with fetching as if she's never fetched before and see if I can't get some headway that way.
