Wayne's First Report Card

Hello all,

COMMENTS: Wayne is a sweetheart and so cute with those puppy eyes. We have just begun training and are working on down curbs. He is doing well and catching on quickly. He loves taking the treats, but can be a little feisty getting them from my hand, but takes them more gently after I tell him “easy”.

He is looking good.
