Autumn Board-and-Train Dog Training

Happy autumn! Fall is our favorite time of year at Love Wags A Tail board-and-train. The softening of the heat is a welcomed change, and all the colors of fall displayed in decorations, flowers, and other foliage, plus the annual holiday movies and TV shows, makes this a magical time of year.
