A year ago today. Time flies!
What a beautiful view.
Canine Companions pup Scarlet had her first time on a boat. She practicing walking on docks, jumping in and out of the boat, and other commands during her time at the lake.
She's been working hard!
Beautiful weather for a lake day!
Scarlet recently traveled to South Carolina to spend a week at Lake Keowee. She practiced commands at the lake house, which helped her practice the skills in a different environment.

Over the weekend, Canine Companions puppy Scarlet was at Picnic with the Pops, at the Columbus Commons!
Scarlet did a terrific job with the big crowd, music and with meeting many wonderful people! She watched as people gathered with their picnic baskets to see entertainers perform with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.
A few other Canine Companions puppies joined her for a fun night. 🎼🎻

It's ! Getting playtime in now before it gets too hot! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Great job !!!
Sending some love to Toronto! Let's go Jackets!! Columbus Blue Jackets NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Guess who is now 6 months old? NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Today I took a field trip to Petco! I got to practice lots of different commands as well as work on my impulse control. I am quite good at impulse control! Plus I know if I'm a good girl I get lots of treats! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Does anyone know what I am working on here, other than showing off how well I shake? This is called proofing. Once I have a command down my puppy raiser starts working with me on proofing that command. I've been asked to sit. That means no matter where my puppy raiser walks or if she moves my leash that I need to stay in that sit until she tells me I can get up. I think I have sit-proofed like a pro! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Getting in some Saturday practice :-) these commands are "up" and "off." that means that I put my two front feet on whatever surface I'm asked to. Off means I get my two front feet off of that surface. I should keep my feet up on whatever surface they're on until I am told off. I have this mastered! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Tomorrow is another Scarlett Friday! Time to put my favorite command, "bed" to good use and get ready for my favorite day of the week! Be sure to tune in to NBC4 tomorrow morning from 6-7 and wake up with me!
Happy Independence Day!! I hope everyone has a great day!! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Do you know what this command is called? It is called "up." When my puppy raiser tells me "up," it's my job to put my two front feet on the surface in front of me. I then stay like that until my puppy raiser tells me "off." I think I have this down! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Yes I am the prettiest girl with the best sit stay! Did you know that I have to learn to stay in whatever command I'm given until another command is given to me? I have it mastered with sit! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
I am working on growing into my big girl cape. Not quite there, but getting closer!! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Anyone else feeling the hump day? NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Whew, we made it through hump day everyone! Which means it is almost Scarlet Friday!! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
I had the BEST day! I took a day trip to Lake Erie and spent my day relaxing on the beach! I was the best girl and had so much fun!!! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
I had lots of fun practice my commands today on all kinds of surfaces! it is very important for a future assistance dog to be able to do their commands wherever they are asked. Once I get a command mastered, like I do with sit and down, it's time to put them to the test. I think I ace every single test! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
Can't wait to wake up with all of your tomorrow morning! Be sure to tune into NBC4 from 6-7 and wake up with me! Let's all have a friyay!!
I really like the hose! You can play, cool off and get a drink all at once! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
I got to spend some playtime with my brother Sterling. Sterling is being raised by another puppy raiser not far away so we get to see each other for occasional play dates! We have the best time playing! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
What can I say, I am the queen of cute sleeping positions! I love to play hard, practice hard and sleep extra hard! NBC4 Canine Companions for Independence
