There is an obedience dog in there!
Dodger is 6 months old now and we've been working on formal training for about 2 months. In the beginning I play games to show puppies that training is fun. So far we've almost perfected a long distance recall, down, sit, left hand finish, leave it and a calm meet and greet. We've been working...
