Testimonial |
|
Great! Thanks for the open and clear words about your dogs also not want to tug anywhere and anytime! We often tend to request too much from our dogs without realizing it. I also love the picture of the green-yellow-red lights. That’s a very helpful idea.
Keep going!!
I’m glad you found it helpful!
