This is Tito, the Corgi wonder pup, who is blessed with not only over-the-top cuteness but training chops!

He has officially graduated from puppy school, top of his class in impulse control (stay, leave it), some of the hardest lessons for a young pup to learn.

Congrats, Tito and family!

Who graduated from puppy school with flying colors? Finn did! Does this Bernedoodle look similar to the one in my previous post? Good eye! He's the half-brother of Huck - get it? Huck & Finn!

They are owned by two sisters, so these siblings get to play and grow up together!

A high five to Bernedoodle, Huck (right), for graduating from puppy school. He's one smart cookie, and he is all set to keep on learning throughout his adolescence. Kudos to his older brother Teddy for putting up with his puppy antics.

This is 5-month-old Hoka, and she just completed her puppy training with flying colors.

This smart and adorable Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier is full of fun and spanking, such a joy to work with her and her owners.
