Sorry! I went and looked it up! Yep they are available here, but I imagine the process would be unreal (like everything else in Canada.)
Coug does some of it naturally. She wakes me up from nightmares, lickes, cuddles and cries when I'm "out of it." Keeps people away (but listens on command whether verbal or hand signal), guards and warns when someone is near home, car or us. She even herds the kids back into the yard (very funny to watch! LOL) If she doesn't like someone (when we are walking or if they come to the house) I listen to her. I trust her instincts more than mine!! So, the only thing she doesn't do (that would be nice) is tug on my leg to remove me from a situation where I panic. She tries to comfort me instead!! LOL. She's pretty smart. I never taught her any of this. She is my first dog and I didn't have a clue how to train her. She did most of it on her own. The hand signals was completely by accident. I can point and she will stay, drop, sit, backup, sing, talk, bark or growl!!
How old is yours? Coug is three (her full name is Cougar but I call her Coug or Cougie most of the time.)
