We have had Laney enrolled in a puppy class for 8 weeks now... she has progressed with flying colors :)  We are so proud of her!  In the short 8 classes she has learned many new tricks, learned to socialize with large & small dogs and even learned her "bugle" howl! Bow wow wow... 

She is very excited for the extra large bone we bought to congratulate her :)
