Checking in with our good boy Radar!
Radar is currently undergoing his training to become a guide dog for the visually impaired, and is working on keeping his focus and not getting distracted by various toys, treats, noises or other dogs.

New update from Radar’s training with @GuideDogFdn! 🐕🐾

After Radar passes successfully without being distracted by the other dog, his instructor marks the behavior with a click and rewards him with a piece of kibble. Good job Radar! 👏 pic.twitter.com/3VujQ3riiD

He's also gotten really good at walking in a harness and stopping at curbs.

A look into Radar’s @GuideDogFdn training! 🙌 He’s learning to walk in harness and stop at curbs.

All of these skills will help prepare him to become a guide dog for someone who is blind or visually impaired. ❤️ He’s making us so proud! pic.twitter.com/1vNxXfWJKU
