Literal:
“I, Samantha Esquivel, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”My last independent component was dog obedience classes, but I decided to take it upon myself to train my dog on my own. Throughout the course of thirty days, I taught my dog two commands and created a video that films her progress and shows her behavior. In the end, she was only able to master two commands but she did well mastering the ones that were assigned to her, very well.
Interpretive:
My work is quality. I tried my best at being a dog trainer. Although, I’m not a professional trainer I managed to get the job done with my dog. At times, it became exhausting but I pushed through all her misbehavior because I was focused on mastering the two commands I had assigned to her. The significant parts of this component include the fact that I was exploring unknown skills and trying out dog obedience on my own and being my own trainer. Working with Kater, I learned more than knowing she has a short attention span and I had to take advantage of the time she give me to get the instructions of the command into her head and expand her muscle memory. I gained more experience and confidence as being her trainer and I learned I had to take boss because otherwise she would’ve. Throughout the course of thirty days I trained Kater for hours on end helping her master the command, took her places to practice the command in different environments with different people such as the grocery stores, mall, prom dress shopping. Also, I created a video and spent hours editing. This independent component represents thirty eight hours and more of work.

Applied
My essential question is, “What is the best quality to ensure a guide dog in training is chosen as an official service dog.” This independent task helped me to answer parts of my essential question because I had to see what techniques I used to train Kater worked and which ones didn’t. Since, I could not use dog treats the training was more difficult because all I had to offer Kater was my affection. I learned many possible answers I could connect to my essential question. For example, I set a deadline, thirty days, for myself and Kater and gained knowledge of how fast she could master the processes of the command, ability to learn. The answer, ability to learn, matters because in a year when I return Kater to Guide Dogs of the Desert she will be placed on a deadline again to learn to be a guide dog. Also, I learned temperament is a factor. As we would practice out in the hot sun, I became weary but Kater gave up and she became frustrated and would take a break and rest. I realized she reacted in a calm manner, but the feeling of feeling frustrated may not have all dogs react the same way since some dogs could snap. So, if anything, I have found benefits for Kater to prove she has some of the qualities needed to become a guide dog.
