This video has two purposes. Well, 3. One is celebrating my little idiot. God dammit I love that dog. Two, is showing progress to anyone following his little story. And, last, but not least….. Showing training doesn’t have to feel like this piece of shit chore. There was only about a third more of these activities that weren’t on film. …
OK…. Maybe They Aren’t “Always” Bad.
Weather keeping us stuck. But damn, they’re cute.
Conditioned Relaxation Is NOT Massage.
