Now in
training...
Labrador Retrievers Lev and Tara.
Lev has a little
heart shape on her head, so we called her Heart in Hebrew. (Lev)
Tara is very sweet, calm, and peaceful. She also loves the outdoors so
we called her ‘hills’. (Tara)
Training puppies
takes a lot of dedication, patience, and hard work. However, the reward
is knowing that this will bring great blessing by enabling someone to
become much more independent.
Currently, the
puppies are learning their names in ISL
(Israeli Sign Language). Tamara is teaching them to recognize their
names when they are ‘finger spelled’.
For example, when L-E-V sees her name spelled, she responds by touching
Tamara's leg with her paw or jumping on Tamara's leg. She then
receives a reward. The learning process is fun for both the puppies and
Tamara.
Currently the puppies are learning the following commands: When Tamara
wants them to lie down, she signs "A" in ISL. When she wants them to
sit, she signs "SH" in ISL (Israeli Sign Language).
