Holiday Board-and-Train Photos

We are all about fun with training. The behaviors we teach at Love Wags A Tail board-and-train puppy and dog training can be used for many day-do-day activities including photo opportunities. We teach dogs obedience cues then their owners maintain and incorporate those behaviors into their own environments and lifestyles.

Tip is the hard working director of the Humane Society of the Grand Bahamas and is now facing massive clean-up and picking up the pieces that Hurricane Dorian left behind. We were very lucky to have been spared from Hurricane Dorian’s wrath in Florida, so if you can find it in your heart to donate anything to help Tip, her staff, and shelter volunteers, five of which lost {Read More}
