Guide Dogs of America volunteer Sandy Steinblums, Aceās trainer, explained how her usually calm pup quickly reclaimed his cool after becoming briefly starstruck.
āThis puppy is one I raised (as a volunteer) for Guide Dogs of America --- he is training to be a guide dog for the blind. We went to Disneyland for a few hours as a socialization experience -- what you didnāt see AFTER the 14-15 seconds video where he settled in a DOWN was his DOWN/STAY for a few minutes while Pluto tried to break his stay,ā she wrote on Facebook.
Ace will continue to undergo training for the better part of a year before he can be placed with a family that needs him, added Steinblums.
But heās already proven he has what it takes, she added.
ā Ace entered his āformalā guide dog training at the end of January. My ājobā as a volunteer was to socialize and provide him with obedience training. This was a training outing and I was too far back to correct him, but golly-be....he responded anyway. Yep! That is my boy and I am proud of him and love the Disney characters for being so kind and helpful!ā
