Beautiful image of your Labrador and a sweet video too. We had a lab for almost 14 years who we just lost this past March.

Thank you Agnes for your encouragement, great you liked the video, I shortened it from a much longer one, a temperament test to see if she was suitable material as a service dog. Sorry to hear that you lost your lab in March! 14 is a very good age for a large dog, treasure the memories! ~Pat

UV, I forgot to thank you re the video, it was shorted from a temperament test Cindy did to be accepted into a registerred Program we are going through with as me as a private trainer. It is rare for this to happen but this organisation will do it provided it is a good team and we are I am proud to say. The fellow from the organisation saw the video and we had our provisional Public Access licence two weeks later. Cindy is the best thing that has come along in my life to help me get out and about and walk with dignity! ~Pat

In the past when you talked about dog training I always imagined routine training skills for a show dog. I had no idea that you were training service dogs. Wow, what a wonderful job.

Hi Irene, I am training Cindy as my service dog. Iv'e trained two of my dogs in the past as assistance dogs. Then I got a dog from a Program as she was nice and tall but was so ill mannered, badly trained and knocked me flying and then went and laid under a tree so I had to crawl to the house. I was very lucky to be accepted by a Program as a private trainer and train my own dog, Cindy has her provisional Public Access ID so can go into shops etc. In the past I trained dogs for Showing and for TV ads but have moved on, assistance/service dog training is where I am at. Not to say I don't train other assistance dogs, I do, I just spent six months with a hearing alert dog and his owner, the owner was harder to train than the dog. LOL. ~Pat

LOL Sherry, you must have watched the other videos! Wasn't that a hoot with the kids on roller blades asking if he could take Teena for a ride! Didn't she just love it by the looks of her tail. Oh that cookie jar is brilliant,I put it near things that Cindy will steal so it makes a noice "stop, you away from the cookie jar". Thanks for popping in Sherrybear and for your kind words! ~pat ~Pat

What a magnificent specimen Pat. Looks like an action hero waiting to save the world. Since this is a photo club may I suggest some changes to enhance the image? Clone (or copy) some grass from the hillside to eliminate the slope behind the dog. It distracts from his wonderful stance. Also then crop from the left and just a little from the top.

Thank you Dale, I will do that, I didn't even notice the slope to be quite truthful. I actually wasn't happy with it, there was a reason why and you pointed it out. I'll fix it right now and upload it tomorrow. ~pat

I notied the slope and kinda liked it... gives Cindy a kinda "Up UP and Away" stance... Sherrybear :}

Yes, I looked at the original as I thought with this photo I had mucked up the pigment on her lips but I didn't. I will still clone the BG out and see what it looks like, thanks Sherrybear! ~Pat

Hi Pat... just browsing your Phello Photographer's Club and came across Cindy and your video (watched it twice now)... it is so wonderful that you can train her to work with you... she is a very beautiful lab. Our Foster pup Faye will be home for the holidays for two weeks, can't wait to see her again! She is doing well training for Special Skills. Have a great night! Christine Smiling with you

I SO ADMIRE people who train dogs; especially service dogs. What an awesome feeling that must be, to give someone such a wonderful gift. This is a gorgeous dog and a good shot. I sort of liked the slope as well.
