Calling a Dog To Come
January 22, 2019 by
One of the common behaviors I am asked to train dogs and puppies during their Love Wags A Tail board-and-train program is to come when called. This is a behavior I start working on generally on day one and continue it until the drop-off dog training lesson when I bring the boot camp puppy home. My most recent board-and-train is no exception. He is a very lively, creative, and playful 6-month-old Chocolate Labrador Retriever. Romeo’s one of the happiest pups {Read More}
