Puppy Aptitude Testing
I had a fellow dog trainer out last week to help me complete the puppy aptitude testing. It is always fascinating to me to see how the puppies respond in a new environment to a new person. They all did great, nobody had any adverse reactions or high sensitivity to the tester, sound, or sight. ...
