Let the Good Times Roll!
The adventures of Talise, Nalu and Colby never seem to stop! All three of our playful youngsters are experiencing new things every day! Talise and Nalu are growing in leaps and bounds as they are eating a consistent diet of yummy fish comprised of capelin and herring. Training is also a huge part of the pups’ daily routine. Talise and Nalu are continuing to build a solid foundation for their training, including gating, which is taking turns. It is essential for each animal to get one-on-one time with each trainer to be successful with training, so in order to make this possible, we work daily to teach our animals to take turns. Colby is progressing beautifully with his training and he continues to learn new behaviors daily, such as his ball touch!
Talise and Nalu have officially made their big debut to our main pool, and they are loving every second of it! As Talise had been in our main pool last fall, she had no hesitation jumping right back in to the vast 18-foot deep pool! Nalu took a moment to take in his new surroundings, but he quickly followed Talise and Colby into the pool to engage in one of their favorite games of tag!
Since entering our main pool, the pups have been exposed to the sights and sounds of our daily shows and interactive programs. This is all part of a process call desensitization, which helps our animals to get used to the many different things they may experience on a daily basis. Colby, Talise and Nalu will continue to be exposed to many new things each and every day. Be sure to stop by this summer to see Colby, Talise and Nalu as they continue to learn new things!
