"It's going very well!! He is such a little bundle of energy. He's very smart, we got him a toy that makes him do little tasks to get a treat and he absolutely loves it. Potty training was one of the easiest aspects of training Finley, it seemed like he almost came home already trained, and he learned to go outside extremely quickly"
-Lynn

Congratulations to the Kerri Rastello family! Shiner was a special little girl. Bright, smart and full of herself. She found her way to New York where the Rastell family welcomed her to their family.
"Thank you for being so loving and attentive towards the pups. We appreciate all the time you are investing to get them acclimated to different life experiences. Kaya is becoming soo beautiful she owns our hearts and rules our house. Lol! Her and Tacoma play together hours every single day, pulling each others neck tuff. Her and rascal play a couple times a week as rascal isn't as active as he was years ago. But you can see they all love each other very much. I am so grateful she is a part of my life and she is more than i ever deserved".

"He sleeps through the night very well. Usually to bed at 930-10, up at 5 no whining. We tucker him out pretty well. No messes in his kennel and goes right away when outside. Lol he's been a complete joy "
-Shawn
"Good morning! Your advice on spending 1:1 time with both dogs has worked WONDERS! She's fully adjusted and is doing so so so well. No accidents for weeks, recall is pretty good (for a 3 month old), she can sit, stay, lay down, touches on command, and sits patiently for things she wants. She's also fully desensitized to paws, ears, and mouth touching...the vet LOVES her. Her affection has gone WAY up and her food motivation has increased dramatically. She and Hux are still best friends. Just wanted to say thank you for the advice, it's been a huge help."
-Sean
Poppy is doing great! We love her So Much!! ❤❤❤ We are working on potty training & she's progressing well. She has slowly been making friends with the hens and the kitty. We're very happy we have her!

Just a quick update Mikko is doing great. Such a happy and smart dog! Definitely my little Velcro friend. He doesn't like to leave my side. just wanted you to know he is doing good.
-Jared
I want to let you both know how delighted we are with Frisco. He is simply a fabulous dog! He is very affectionate, not just with us but with pretty much everyone he meets. He is quite friendly and social, more-so than Mahto or Angel was. He is also quite the comedian - keeping us in stitches much of the time with his antics. He is very playful and keeps teaching us new games to play with him. He is fixated on balls and would have us play ball with him 24/7 if we would only understand how important it is! But he is also willing (sometimes!) to stop and settle down.
Rosie has been a busy girl. She's done two film student projects and an independent feature film. We just started training for disc dog competitions. It’s her most favorite activity in the whole wide world!”
December 23, 2014 “Last month Rosie filmed a Pet Insurance commercial for an advertising class. Here's the final product. I'm biased because Rosie is so pretty, but all the cast and crew did a great job! Watch in HD.”

We also registered her as a support dog so she can go almost anywhere with us. She's brought so much love and fun to our lives. Can't thank you enough .
