Last week I did a training demo for a couple with an out of control lab puppy, just 16 weeks old.
She responded very well to me and impressed her owners.
They commented I had done more with their puppy in the 1/2 hour I was there than their entire puppy class. In fact they had [...]

We spent a productive weekend working on the Canine Coach Field House, our new state of the art training facility. We had been stalled for quite a few months.
