Boot Camp walking
“Working on some leash work with Brodie. Brodie is an official “wiggle worm”…he never stops moving. So we are working on just being calm overall. Sits when we stop and walking in a straight line. He also has to taste test every treat first to make sure they aren’t poison…so he spits them out on the ground and then eats them from there 😅. He’s come a LONG way since starting with me. He has a lot of stranger danger but now we are BESTIES.” — Julie
Boot Camp and Daycare is available M-F 7am-6pm. Please see our website for full details on Boot Camp.
