Nico visited the vet's office today. He’s not a fan, but we’ve been working really hard over the past year on his training, and it really pays off in these situations. We used his place command to have him sit on the scale so he could be weighed. He practiced sitting while we had our initial consult with Dr. Flannigan. And he stayed in a down while we were paying our bill. He even saw some other dogs in the lobby and didn’t get overly excited. He likely has a parasitic infection, likely picked up from eating something he shouldn’t have or from being a wild dog and drinking from streams or the lake. Now, we have the challenge of tricking him into eating two pills twice a day!
