I’ve taken some good classes, some mediocre classes and some great classes. I still take classes now, and have run the newest dog throughContinue reading “Dog Training Classes and What Ours Are All About”

Puppy Classes

Amazingly Awesome Crazy Puppy Antics

I really wish I had a paparazzi film crew that would follow me around and get those darn moments I miss, on film.
