Lumi and his mom started with us in private training. Lumi had some very bad experiences that caused him to fear just being a dog. Through Cindy’s love and commitment to Lumi’s recovery.. they have accomplished great things! They attend Advanced obedience, advanced agility, rally obedience, pup-lates, advanced scent and Fetch! Lumi has achieved his AKC Novice & Intermediate Trick Titles too! Still working everyday to overcome the residual effects of fear.. Cindy continues to support Lumi and give him THE BEST LIFE! Way to go you two! You have come so far and we can’t wait to see what your training journey holds for you!

• Favorite Toy: My round blue Sailz that I got at Zoom Room! We don’t go on walks without it. Although I am on my second one (a green one given to me by my best friend Blue and his dad) because I loved my blue one literally to pieces! But my most all time FAVORITE toy is my leash! I could entertain myself and others with my leash for hours. And guess what? We REALLY don’t go ANYWHERE without it, so it is a HUGE WIN for me! Lastly, tree branches! I love to jump for them! And they are everywhere, so just like my leash, they are always just a jump away!
• Favorite Treat: I love cookies (treats)! The list is a mile long! But I would have to say my most favorite is Baked salmon skin, cod skin sticks, Papa Psuka and chicken strips and…oh, who am I kidding? I LOVE food!
• Favorite Thing: Water! Dirt! Mud! Snow! BATHTUBS! BATHTUBS!! BATHTUBS!!! I LOVE to play in the bathtub! I love it so much, I roll in the dirt just because I KNOW it is a golden ticket straight to the bathtub! Mom only laughs and says, “Bathtub! Let’s hurry so we aren’t late to class.” So, sometimes, ok, lots of times I come to class wet, but that’s ok too, because I mop the floor for Kyle! Not only am I his Head Mopper, but I am his: Kyle had a little lamb, little lamb…I follow him everywhere!
• Favorite activity at the Zoom Room: KC. Seriously, I love all the classes and workshops, but if mom and I came to Zoom Room just so I could go in and see KC and give/get lovies to/from her…makes my heart so happy! Yep, KC is my favorite activity.

Lumi’s owner, Cindy, had this to say:

What would I like you to know about me:
1-I am a slow warm up with some people and dogs, but when I feel safe and comfortable with your energy, you become a part of my pack and I love you unabashedly and I don’t reserve my joy upon seeing you.
2-I chew garden hoses in my spare time, play in the sprinklers at Rancho and McQueen, really like popcorn, like to play puzzles, climb ladders, slide down slides, paint and I personally sign my cards with a lick cause a kiss won’t stick.
3-I love with my whole heart.
4-I am grateful for all my Dog Nation friends (and their parents) at Zoom Room, you have all been a part of my journey to April’s Dog of the Month.
