Helping people select, raise, train and obtain a
lifetime companion by earning their trust and
respecting who they are.


Sam and Lauren have been through
Basic Manners and Obedience II
with Rufus and this is one of their stories!

This weekend we took Rufus to a pig pickin' held by one of our bosses. We arrived and many people were already enjoying food and conversation. Rufus approached the party with perfect loose leash manners as we started to mingle.

We were meeting the hostess of the event when she dropped her entire plate of hot, delicious, mouth-watering food. Of course, like any dog, Rufus was very interested in this eye level delicacy and quickly nibbled up the closest pasta noodle. Just as the noodle went into his mouth, I said, "Rufus, Leave It!" And he spit it back out on the grass!

After we told the hostess Rufus was not allowed to eat a lot of people food (his belly would be rumbling all night!) the food was cleaned up. Rufus watched while perfectly cooked pig was being removed from the grassy plate before him.

Everyone was so impressed with how well behaved he was. Thank you for helping us enjoy our dog and thank you for all of your wonderful work!

Sam, Lauren, and Rufus
