Circle Tail Times - Celebrating 25 Years of Helping Dogs Help People

"He is such a wonderful dog-he's my best friend and excellent working partner."

Bonnie and Dargo

Partnership Update

Bonnie and Dargo were partnered in July 2021. They continue to attend training sessions at Circle Tail to enhance their partnership. Bonnie recently shared the following update on their partnership.

"I feel like we’re getting more in tune with each other as time goes by. I’m very proud of Dargo and the progress he has made. He is such a wonderful dog- he’s my best friend and excellent working partner. We are slowly adding more tasks to his “toolbox”, and he is doing very well!

Dargo is more in “work” mode when we are out and about, but he follows direction well in either place. He has improved on how quickly he looks to me when we encounter another dog as well.

He is alerting more to fainting spells, his recall and distracted recall is getting much stronger, and he has learned “button”. He is also working on learning “crawl”- which for him means crawling under my legs and propping them up when I’m unconscious.

We’ve really been working on better “check ins” from him when we’re “on the move”. I typically don’t have to ask for “looks” anymore, and he is MUCH more engaged with me when we are out in public- which is great for alerts. Dargo is doing an excellent job and shows me every day just how intelligent he is!"
