:Beau and I just returned from working with the CCI trainer at the mall. He was great! He stayed at my side, heeled beautifully and ignored most distractions...and the best news of all...NO JUMPING ON PEOPLE! That jumping has been such a problem and I feel like we have mastered it. We did teach him how to jump up and push the handicapped door button...he is so smart, such a quick learner.

:The coolest part was we met up with a group of disabled young adults on a field trip. Beau was loving and gentle with all of them and it filled my heart with great joy to see their faces light up when they touched him.

:It was a great experience and I'm so proud of my boy! >>>>

Sounds wonderful! Your good work is paying off!
