We have the same operating procedures. Great pictures.

Unfortunately, I have only come across 2 people I trust with big dogs. A couple weeks ago, Teddy and I met a 4-pack of the best trained greyhounds in the world. The owner was a true dog whisperer, a strange man walking around the city with no shoes. I wish I would have asked for his phone number to learn all of his secrets of dog handling.
