LA and the UMA Travel Exchange Convention


What a great week we had of the Westin Bonaventure in LA for the UMA Travel Exchange Convention. We stayed on the 32nd floor of the hotel and Battier did very well with going to the bathroom outside and didn't have an accident all week! I didn't think she would, but being 4 months old in a new environment it was something that could have happened. We met a lot of people at the UMA/NTA Travel Exchange and they were all very impressed with Battier and how well she behaved for a 4 month old puppy. It was also a great learning experience for a lot of people at the convention there were bus companies, bus manufactures, insurance companions, travel agents, people talking about their State and more! Battier was definitely a hit and everyone at the convention seemed to know who we were. On the last day there was a guest speaker at the lunch from Alaska, she is an Iditarod racer and will be racing in her 31st race next week, she brought a retired sled dog with her and she was very impressed with Battier's training. This week we also went on a lot of buses, walked in Downtown LA during busy times, went to restaurants, Universal Studios, Sony Pictures, Venice Beach, a lot of glass elevator rides and more! It was really an awesome week of training for Battier and I'm so proud of how this little (maybe not so little) girl did!!
