Signing up Rowan for training was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Rhonda made sure that he was incredibly patient, focused and trained in everything from basic commands to safety habits (some of which I didn't even think to teach). At the dog park, while other similarly aged puppies were getting crazy - if I needed to pull Rowan from the activity, all I had to do was call his name and he would look at me, then say come and he would peel off. I've never in my life had a puppy (and I've had a lot of dogs), who was able to assess that mom's command comes before play. It was so exciting!
