Picasso’s Bio
Born on April 4th, 2022, Picasso III entered the world with a mission. And YES, that was his name at birth. He was on track to become a Service Dog for Canine Companions. However, he began to exhibit some kennel stress. Being the super sensitive guy that he is, he just wasn’t recovering from the stress. So, he was released from their program. The Program Staff felt that Picasso would make a wonderful Therapy Dog. Yvonne just happened to be accepted into Canine Companions Therapy Dog Handler Program after the passing of Dagger DogVinci. So, they reached out to Yvonne and Denis to see if they might want to adopt Picasso and train him to be a Canine Companions Therapy dog. They immediately said a joyful “YES” and adopted Picasso. During the adoption process, Alex, Picasso’s Professional Trainer, told Yvonne and Denis that Picasso was already learning how to paint! WOW! This was clearly a match made in heaven with Dagger’s brush of approval painted right on it!! Picasso has been training since. Recently, he received his AKC CGC Certification and became a Certified Canine Companions Therapy Dog with Yvonne as his Handler. He has started painting and is doing a splendid job. Picasso’s journey is just beginning…There’s so much more in store! |
