We have witnessed a miracle or a very lucky man. You decide. 1mm or 2 inches a miracle in my book. 🙏 to heal this country from the hate and rage.

So proud of Sarge and Tina. Both have worked very hard to be ready as a team to pass the Canine Good Citizenship test. Many dogs even with training don't pass the 1st time. Sarge not only passes the 1st time but by far was the best mannered, efficent, stay focued doggie. Only the best for our veteran. Sarge gave his all and so did the veteran.❤️🐕‍🦺🐾❤️ Next week he will finish his Advanced Training Certificate. Go Sarge.

See you Nov 4th. Doors open 10:30 am and scheduled program starts 12noon. Deadline is Oct 18th to purchase a ticket.

A big week for Sarge. He went to his 1st advanced training course to learn to stay calm with many distractions and socialize in a new environment with other dogs at PetSmart. The trainer said he was strong, smart and quick learner. He is double timing and getting additional training or reinforcement at home each day. He now will go and lay his head on your lap when told. He also made the front page of the Longview News Journal and digital paper too. Got groomed for the paper and had an in depth photo shoot. Sarge said it was a RUFF RUFF week but enjoyed doing new things. See Sarges 16 photo shoot at news-journal.com. Scroll past current news and look for Sarge and Tina in her red, white and blue shirt.
