The focus of this month was fun with a bit of training thrown in! We spent a lot of time at the off-leash park where Bruno worked on his recall. Even with the other dogs running around him, Bruno can stay in a sit or a down until I recall him. We spent time this month...

Bruno is a fun guy who loves to have a good time. He adores people and gives a full-body wiggle when he sees someone he knows. Since he is now fully vaccinated, we are able to go to off-leash parks, which helps dispel his abundance of energy! We are working on...
