Some actually thrive off of the interaction during training where other breeds may be a tad more stubborn. In either instance, training for puppies is crucial because as the saying goes, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”  Training a dog while he is still a puppy allows for an easier transition into his adulthood.

I came in for a simple bag of food but left with so much more than that! Jodie was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with me while she educated me on dog food and the different kind of stimulation my dog needs!! She answered all of my questions and never once made me feel pressured into buying more than I wanted to. I won't shop anywhere else for my fur family.
