Outsmarting Dogs Retrieve Training
January 29, 2017 By

Have some fun and try them out! If your dog gives paws up, yay! If not, donate the rejects to your local shelter or swap them with your friends. That old saying, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure,” applies to other species, too! Recycle {Read More}
