<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#312C2C">This training usually lasts four to six months and is very extensive. Once Boomer passed all the skills tests with his trainer, he was ready to be matched with Mollie. Mollie spent three weeks training
alongside him in Morristown. This is where they navigated busy streets, shopping areas, revolving doors, escalators, and public transportation, among many other exciting training adventures. Mollie likes to say that she can take Boomer anywhere anyone else
can expect to take their eyes. However, there are some limited exceptions. For instance, there are some sterile hospital environments where he cannot go. But generally speaking, Boomer can go everywhere with Mollie.

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#312C2C"><br>
There are many reasons why the general public should ignore a service animal like Boomer. First, his work requires a lot of focus. Although petting seems harmless, it can distract the animal and the person they are supporting. If either of them loses focus,
it can put both in danger. Second, Mollie constantly rewards Boomer with praise and pets as he works. This positive affection is an incentive for him to continue his good work. If he were to receive this praise from others constantly, it would reduce its effectiveness
from her. Let's think about it, would you be motivated to do your best work if you knew someone other than your employer would be paying you for just being adorable? I don't think so! Allowing someone to pet a service animal is always at the handler's discretion.
If the time is right, the handler may slip off the harness and allow a quick pet or snuggle session. But please do not touch the animal while they are working.

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#312C2C">Boomer does not eat anything other than his dog food and dog treats. This ensures he maintains a healthy weight for a long and healthy life. It is also to prevent bad table manners. If allowed table
scraps at home, he might scavenge for food as he dines in restaurants with his handler. He does love ice as an extra treat. If he hears someone in his family kitchen getting ice from the refrigerator, he makes sure to get there in time for a piece to be tossed
to him! It's not always work for Boomer. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
