Meet Beary! He's a 2-year-old Klee Kai from Los Angeles, California, and he's here for our Three Week Reactive Board and Train Program. Beary tends to be clingy with people, which means he has pretty bad separation anxiety, and while he likes it when guests come over, he will sometimes get reactive to them at a distance while on leash or from his yard. He will also bark at other dogs while on leash, and tends to want to be the dominant one in his own pack at home to the point of getting in fights. Over the next three weeks we'll help him with his anxiety issues, teach him to behave while on leash, and also teach him all his basic commands. Stay tuned for Beary's three-week transformation!

We spent a little time at the park bonding and seeing what commands Beary knew. I can tell he does know how to Sit, but he wouldn't give it to me without a little hands-on assistance. It only required a light touch, though, so I'm sure he'll fall inline on that one easily. Everything else? He's got plenty of time to learn! And he seems pretty eager to be around and to please people, so I think he'll pick up the commands quickly. He did show a little bit of reactivity to a family that walked by with several young children. He didn't make any noise or lunge, but he did stiffen up and move closer, and was watching with a very intense stare. The car ride home actually wasn't too bad. He cried for a little bit then settled down. Inside the house was fine pretty much right away. He sniffed around a lot, found the door to go outside where he could potty, and was happy to lay down wherever I was. Leaving him alone in any room, of course, caused instant whining, which I was prepared for and we'll work on it, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it might be. And he did fantastic when I introduced him to my dogs. He went into play mode right away and had a good time! He did try to bury his food instead of eating it, but at least he got in a nibble or two before thinking he could push the rug overtop it. Overall, it was a really smooth first day intro into his new environment!

For our first day of work I took Beary to a little park nearby that tends to have not too many distractions. There were more kids on the playground than I typically see there, but he wasn't bothered by them at all. He's definitely highly mood motivated, which makes it pretty easy to get him focused up and wanting to learn. I started him on his Sit, getting him to move into position cleanly and then making him hold it. Then we worked on Down, which he picked up on fairly quickly with the treat lure, and we were already moving into extending the position within a few tries. He'll Come decently well when called, but he's a little confused when it comes to that ending Sit by my side. He tends to stop a little too far back or too far to the side, so we'll keep refining that one as we go along. And then of course the Heel work! As mentioned when I picked him up, he's a puller, so for today I relied on those treat lures to keep him in the proper position. This is teaching him that all good things happen as long as he stays in his spot; and coupled with the e-collar on corrections, he's learning that it's far better to hang out by me and get the good stuff instead of trying to step away and receive a correction. For his first day of learning most of these commands, he did really well! He got comfortable pretty fast at home. He slept through the night just fine and enjoys being out in the yard with the dogs. When it comes to his separation anxiety, he's a bit unusual with it lol. He makes a lot of noise when I approach after he hasn't seen me for a bit, and he makes noise when he even thinks I might be leaving, like when I was slipping on my shoes this morning. But once I'm out of sight, he quiets right down. So it's not so much the being by himself that bothers him, but the anticipation of it, and the excitement of when a person returns. This may very well be a learned behavior, where he's been accidentally taught that if he makes enough noise when he's being left alone, that his person won't leave him. And then on the other end, he'll get instant attention if he makes noise upon a person's return. When there isn't anyone there to cater to him, there's no sense in making all the fuss, so he doesn't. On one end, it's great because it means he doesn't actually have anxiety as badly as he pretends he does, but on the other end, it's still really loud on both sides of the coming and going, so I'll work on correcting that behavior while he's here. It'll mostly be a matter of showing him he doesn't get what he wants by throwing his tantrums, but if he shows me proper behaviors then he'll get that attention he's looking for. We'll get there!

I haven't seen anything in the way of reactivity with Beary so far, so I moved a little faster than I normally would and took him out to Live Oak Park on a busy Sunday morning. He was certainly highly distracted and so it was a bit more challenging getting him to work on the regular commands, but we encountered dogs, joggers, people on roller blades, kids kicking balls, scooters, you name it, and he had no reactivity issues. He liked to look at the other dogs and that pulled his focus a bit, but there was nothing concerning, not even when a big yellow lab came right up to him unexpectedly as we were walking the path. There were some moments when he was showing some anxiety, but nothing alarming that a little more exposure wouldn't fix. Aside from being generally distracted, he did really good for us moving from the small, mostly empty park to the big, crowded one in only a day. I'll step us back down to the quieter zones over the next few days so I can refine those commands more, but from what I can tell at the moment, I'm thinking his reactivity issues stem more from being around his siblings and feeding off them than actually being reactive himself. I'll continue to challenge him and see if I can get anything from him, but if I can't, it's a good thing! Narrowing down who the actual instigators are in the pack will make it much easier to manage moving forward. Get them to calm down and he should fall in line with them just fine!

It was back to a quieter neighborhood park for us today. There was some sort of family gathering so more kids were running around on the playground than usual, but I was able to get Beary focused up enough to maintain his positions until released. I introduced his Place command today so I had him jumping up on all sorts of structures, which he took to pretty quickly. He seems to actually prefer being up to being on the ground! Getting into his proper Sit position at the end of his Recall went much better today, so he's starting to catch onto that one, and he's beginning to understand the concept of leash pressure and where he should be at his Heel. His Down was a lot smoother today than he was giving me yesterday, so that helps confirm that the more chaotic environment of Live Oak Park was a bit too much for him this early on in his training. I'm still not seeing any signs of reactivity, but he does have a lot of big feelings about a lot of things, and will tell you so pretty willingly! So going a little slower with him when introducing him to new things and new environments will be beneficial in curbing some of his more anxious reactions. He tends to need a minute to process his emotions, but once he settles down (which typically only takes a few minutes), he locks in pretty well. We'll continue to work on positive exposure to experiences that might trigger him so he can get more used to the world at large, and hopefully that'll help him be a calmer dog in general. He doesn't curse me out when I'm putting the e-collar on and taking it off anymore, so I know he can learn to settle down once he realizes he's safe and he doesn't need to sound any alarms!

A few of us with reactive dogs were available at the same time today, so we took advantage of that and decided to have a session together at the park! We worked mostly on our Heel and Extended Sit with the added distractions of other dogs moving in and around our space. He was again a little nervous being at a new park and meeting new dogs and people, and made some of his little squeaky protest sounds in the beginning, but he did fall into place as we moved around more and he got more familiar with everything. I worked him alone at first, then while handling Loki the border collie (who Beary is now friends with at home) to see if he would act out while walking in a pair, and there were still no signs of reactivity. Loki isn't dog-reactive, so while he was a little miffed that we were just walking in circles not playing ball, his general calm demeanor gave Beary nothing to feed off of. The whole group stayed pretty well-behaved despite multiple dogs being in the reactive program. The lesson of the day is keep the energy and chaos down, and the dogs will generally follow suit. He's doing well on that end of things, so if I can get his transitional anxiety down, he'll wind up being really great!
4/29/26
I took Beary out to a hiking/biking trail to work on him while passing other dogs, bikes, joggers, etc while out on a regular walk. I was surprised to find that he wasn't anxious at all even though it was our first time being there. I think he was too busy smelling everything to be worried, but I find it funny that he gets nervous at parks but not on the trail! I let him have the lead here and there while we walked so I could let him get good and distracted before calling him back to me. He came back every time without issues and I only had to coax him into coming around to his Sit on the first Recall. He nailed the rest from there. He was holding his Sits for me without issues and going into his Place no problem. He still tries to get a little ahead when he's on his Heel, but he was responding well to his verbal cues as reminders and only a few corrections on the collar. The photo where he's under the bridge in his Place, a big German Shepherd came by, and even though I was out at the end of the line, he stayed where he was without moving. He watched the dog go by and disappear up the bridge stairs, but otherwise didn't try to get up or bark or anything. It was really a nice, pleasant walk all around!
4/30/26
Today we headed out to Arcadia Park to do some work with another trainer and their dog, acting as distractions for each other. Just shy of one week in and I got to experience Beary's truly stubborn side! He wanted to sniff and play and roll in the grass and nap in the shade, and while he was doing pretty good on his Heel just walking around, he fought me on pretty much every other command. He really said, "I'm gonna show my breed today!" That's okay, it's not uncommon for the dogs to want to test us once they feel comfortable enough, but it is important that on days like this we really follow through on making the dog perform the command we've asked for. If I'd let him get away with doing whatever he wanted, then he'd think I was a pushover, and moving forward with rules and boundaries would be much more difficult for me. By the time we left he was shaping up again, so hopefully he got the hint and will have a much better day tomorrow when we go out!
5/1/26
It was back to the smaller park for us today to work more on his Place and focusing up on me instead of everything else in the world. He definitely had a better day than yesterday with just a little bit of stubbornness early in the session, but then he was back to doing things on command. Like Saber was doing, he is starting to automatically shift into the Down when I ask him to Sit, just anticipating that next move, so I spent quite a bit of time having him go from the Down back into a Sit and correcting him if he tried to lay down without me asking him to. I introduced Stand to him as well so I can mix it up without him guessing what comes next. That way he'll have to hold what I ask him until I give him the next command because he has no idea what it might be. We'll continue working on those transitions to get him back to being sharp on everything. Otherwise his Heel and his Recall were really good today. He's responding pretty much to just verbals now and beginning to self-correct when he's starting to move ahead on the Heel too much. He's also gotten a lot better with the anxiety as he's been gradually learning the routine better. Most dogs like patterns, but he is particularly prone to overthinking things when anything seems different to him. Trying to stick to an established routine as much as possible at home should help him out a lot when it comes to those nerves. For this coming week I'll push him out of his comfort zone more with some indoor adventures and see how he does with those. He's coming along pretty well with his pacing in general, I just need to keep working on getting him out of his own head!
5/2/26
I brought Beary into the Home Depot today to see how he'd handle being indoors with new sounds and noises. He was, not surprisingly, nervous about it. He was definitely not a fan of the little forklifts! We found a less busy aisle to work in so he could adjust to all the sounds and see things going by at a distance, and though I didn't ask anyone to give us space or distance, any time anyone started to come down our aisle with big carts or anything, they noticed my camera setup and turned around lol. That worked out better for him with it being his first time. While he was responsive to all my commands, I noticed he does have a tendency to want to tuck behind my legs or directly on my feet when he's more nervous, so we were battling that a little bit today. I've also been noticing that while his initial reactions to being in new environments are far less dramatic than they were before, the amount of time he can lock in before going into overwhelm is still fairly short. So he'll go from performing his commands pretty well for several minutes, then the anxiety starts creeping in and he starts getting more frantic even when I'm asking for a simple Sit. When he starts getting that way I still make sure he follows through on the last command I gave him, then we have to take what I call a "brain break" for another few minutes to let him calm down before we go for it again. Whereas in environments where he's more comfortable he can work for longer time spans before needing those breaks in between. Again, a lot of this is just a matter of getting him more exposure to new environments so he learns he can relax and trust that you aren't bringing him anywhere dangerous. I'm also very curious to see if he's still as anxious when he's with his brother going into these places, or if he'll sharpen right up knowing he has his backup with him. In the meantime we'll keep working at it solo!

We had some rain off and on this morning so it was another indoor day for us, but Beary didn't seem to mind too much this time since I took him over to the local PetSmart. He was nose to the floor for the first several minutes we were walking around, no sign of any anxiety at all. I went ahead and let him explore before going to work, taking advantage of his curiosity to let him get acclimated before giving him any commands outside of making sure he wasn't pulling on the leash. Even while we were working, I kept it casual with a Sit or Place here or there, then let him cruise around some more, allowed him to get down the aisle on a long line before calling him back to me, then sent him on his way again. I really wanted him to enjoy the outing as much as possible so it seemed less like a formal session and more like he was getting a free day. It kept him from getting worked up too much and we were able to go for a lot longer this time before he began getting anxious. He worked with all verbal cues, I didn't have to give him any collar corrections, and he was really good about not trying to take any treats or toys. He got lots of compliments from the staff and other shoppers about how cute he is, and he very happily took a cookie on the way out. It was a great work day for him!
5/4/26
Beary had a good day at group practice. We had lots of dogs for him to work around, but he wasn't bothered by any of them, not even when some were running around off-leash. He's still getting ahead of himself a bit when he's trying to anticipate what my next command might be, but he was less anxious about it today, so progress! I had another trainer work with him a little bit too and Beary was exhibiting that same, what I'm calling 'anticipation anxiety' with him as well. I'm really going to hone in on that as my main focus with his training moving forward, just trying to get him to relax more and listen instead of working so hard trying to read what I might want next. He picks up on things very quickly, so now I need to get him to slow down and wait for the next command. He was a lot better with not laying down when I asked for his Sit today, so there was definite progress there! We'll keep working at it!
5/5/26
I took Beary over to the mall today and anticipated he would be nervous, but similar to the PetSmart experience, he actually did really well there! We started in the outdoor portion of the mall then worked our way inside, sticking to the top floor where it does tend to be a little less busy, but he didn't have any huge reactions to the echoes or smells. Also similar to PetSmart, I kept him at his Heel but only asked for his other commands sporadically as we walked around. It wasn't until we were on our way out and I was working with Recall several times in a row that he started to go into shutdown mode. He seems to do a lot better with more casual, relaxed sessions where I'm more random than he does with the more formal, repetitive lessons. So at home it might be better to just have him do one or two things at a time throughout the day instead of several minutes of straight commands. If he's starting to go into overwhelm, finish out the last command given, then let him take a break for a little bit before coming back and working more. Doing that today worked out really well for him, and it was nice that both of us were able to just enjoy the outing without him getting too stressed. It was a relaxing but productive little faux-shopping trip!
5/6/26
I took Beary out to a new park mostly to just continue work with his anxiety. It was pretty empty today, which was a little disappointing that we had virtually no distractions, but he was a lot calmer that he has been at other parks. I spent a lot of time walking him around, then we stop for several minutes here and there to work on commands, and if he started looking stressed out we'd go walking a little more and stop a little further down the line to work again. He did really good with all of it without only a few small mistakes, so I think this method is working for him in curbing some of that overthinking. I did finally get to see him get a little grumpy at another dog this morning. We had a young corgi come in for daycare, and though Beary has met him before, today he decided he was going to be 'big dog' over this corgi and rolled up on him grumbling and stiff. He hasn't tried to be dominant with any other dog in the house, so I guess he figured this one was small and young enough to do something about. It earned him a time-out for a little bit while the pup got settled, and we put his collar on him when he was let back out in case he needed a correction, but he didn't try it anymore after that. He wound up playing with the pup just fine the rest of the time they were interacting. It seemed like he mostly just needed some time for the puppy energy to come down before he was able to interact without trying to police the situation. I think it still boils down to him not liking a lot of chaos, so pulling him out of high-energy situations and giving him a moment to breathe should help a lot with some of those behavior issues at home. He likes to play, but he wants to do it on his own time. Otherwise he just wants things to be nice and calm around him.
5/7/26
Today Beary and I wandered around Library Park in Monrovia, making sure we walked by the playground, past other dogs, picnicers, and anyone else just cruising around. We started off nice and easy like I've been doing, making sure he knows to stay at his Heel unless released to go do dog things in the grass. He knows the photo drill now and I don't even have to tell him anything anymore for that. I just point and he goes where I want and gets into position like a pro supermodel! I did push a little more on the commands today, doing a few more drills in a row before letting him relax again. I'm not heavy on the corrections so he doesn't go into panic mode, but he should be able to get through more than a few asks before shutting down. He did a little stress panting, but he's starting to learn to be patient and just wait for my signals instead of trying to act first in anticipation of what I'm doing. If he waits, he doesn't get corrected, and if he doesn't get corrected, he doesn't have to be nervous about doing commands. Several bonus treats and lots of praise helped him along too! He's getting better each time I take him out, which makes me feel good too knowing he's less anxious. We want to have good adventures as much as possible!
5/8/26
I took Beary out to the all-fenced Rotary Park today to test his skills without relying on the leash too much. I worked him on the long line at first just holding onto the end and letting him drag the rest, then I let go entirely so he was only relying on my verbal and physical signals and the collar. He was pretty responsive to all of it, and while he got a little confused here and there with positioning without any leash signals, he only broke a Down once without being released when he assumed I was going to Recall him. I simply reset him and he did great the next round. He was starting to get a little overwhelmed by the time we began working on Place at the picnic table. When I released him you can see he briefly tried to run the other way where he knew the gate was and my car was parked. I hadn't corrected him with the collar at all the entire session, so it's just another warning sign that he gets stressed easily. I'd advise being careful with him at home if he's off-leash as he may be a flight risk. He clearly really knows his commands at this point, but there's only so much that can be done for anxiety. We'll see if he does better on that end when Saber comes back and he has his brother to back him up!
5/9/26
Today Beary and I headed to the far end of the Royal Oaks Trail just because I'm rarely on that side and wanted to check it out. Turns out that's the 'sporty' end with all the tennis courts, basketball courts, playground and picnic area. It also just happened to be a day where a bunch of people were setting up for what looked like a family reunion, so there were plenty of distractions to work around. For every good picture of Beary looking towards the camera, there's at least five more of him watching what everyone was doing lol. But he never broke commands despite the chaos, even when a kid ran right over his head on the playground equipment above him. He did do a little pulling on the way back to the car when he decided he was over it, but he was responsive to verbal corrections just fine, and he settled down quickly once we got away from all the activity. He did really well today considering we were in new territory with a lot of strange dogs, people, and all the setting up going on. I think we're finally making real headway in curbing that anxiety!
5/10/26
Beary and I went on a nice little hike today up the Wash Trail where I could practice more on his Heel without being hands-on. His leash is clipped to my belt and my left hand is holding the selfie-stick so it wasn't free to correct him on the leash at all. There were only a couple times where the line even got close to going taught, but he responded very well to minor verbal reminders and corrections if he started to speed up or move off to the side too much. Any time he sat it was an automatic reaction to me stopping - I never had to use the command once. He went into his Downs cleanly the first time I asked. What I didn't realize until I played it back was that when we stopped to cross the street he was looking both ways as much as I was! He was really watching the cars go by, but at that angle it just looks like he was thinking 'safety first!' On the way back to the car I let him just be a dog as much as he wanted as long as he wasn't pulling, and turns out he's a big fan of the dry leaves! He kept snuffling around in them like a little truffle pig, digging in places, and then actually rolled in them at one point. (Don't worry, I made sure he wasn't rolling in anything gross!). That trail sees a lot of wildlife traffic at night, so I'm sure that's what he was so interested in, but it was great to see him just playing while we were out and not worried at all about what he was 'supposed to be doing.' I see a lot of that silly side at the house, so it was really nice seeing him fully enjoying the outing. I'll have to take him back there again before the week is up for more fun time!
5/11/26
It was our last group practice with Beary today! He hung out with all the dogs, sniffed everyone else who was friendly, and had no issues with anyone even if they got right in his face. He got some pets and love from all the trainers who've watched him and Saber evolve over the last three weeks - everyone's going to miss having these little guys around! He performed all his commands with very few hiccups, and he got plenty of breaks when he seemed like he was getting stressed out. His biggest challenge of the day was remembering not to automatically go into his Place command any time we passed the cots scattered around in the grass, or whenever we passed the picnic tables. I worked a lot on just circling or passing those things at his Heel until he was able to walk on by unless I actually gave him the command to Place. He still definitely gets in his head a little bit trying to anticipate my next move, but he's gotten a lot better at it over the past week. Overall he had a pretty smooth, relaxing day getting to hang out with everyone between training rounds.
5/12/26
Today I took Beary on an epic adventure to The Dog Bakery in Pasadena! He had to brave the train, the city park, and the streets of Old Town to get there, but he got his special Spring cookie in the end! It's definitely clear that he was anxious through this quest, but for his very first time being on the train, I'm surprised how well he held his Place under the chair both going to Pasadena and coming back. His Heel was a little rocky at first as he tends to want to speed up when he's nervous - which, again, adds a reminder that I'm pretty sure he'd be a flight risk if he were to be off-leash in open areas, especially ones he's not familiar with. He found his rhythm as we went along and he started to adjust to the more chaotic city streets, and I was very impressed with how well he handled that skateboarder zipping right past him (I slowed that part down a bit in the video so you could see it!). The long Sit he was doing while we were waiting to cross a busy intersection was also something to be proud of. I sped that part up 6x it's normal speed, he sat there that long! I didn't have to use any reminders to have him hold that Sit either, even when people started coming up behind and beside us. He definitely earned that cookie by the time we reached the shop! On the way back, I let him play a bit in the park, and he was much more comfortable with the train the second time around. Given all of this, I'm pretty comfortable with saying that with a little more exposure he'd be great for taking out to more urban areas and having him lay under the table while you grab something to eat. He handled all of that extremely well for an anxious dog on his first city outing!
5/13/26
For Beary and Saber's first day back together, first of all I let Saber go run around in the yard again with the other dogs to get re-acclimated. He and Beary had a cute little play reunion, then Saber sniffed and marked every corner to let everyone know he's back and staking claims again lol. After he got comfortable, I took them out to the wash behind my house for a low-distraction walk where they could start getting used to Heeling together. I used a coupler leash on them, and while it took a couple minutes to figure out who wanted to be on the outside and who was better on the inside, they sorted themselves out. I kept the leads tighter at first to encourage them to hold that position, then loosened it as they caught on. Beary, who normally has a tendency to want to pull ahead a little on his Heel, actually wound up wanting to fall back. You can see where I had to prompt him to move forward when they went into the Sit to keep him inline. This was something new to him, so naturally it triggered his nervous side, but he did alright with it overall. Saber actually did pretty well, particularly since he's been gone a few weeks and I didn't give him any time for a solo refresher. There are a few houses with reactive dogs in the back yard that barked at us on the way by, but he barely even glanced in their direction. Tomorrow I'll get them out around more distractions and see how they do with that, but so far so good with the basic stuff!
5/14/26
I threw them in the deep end pretty quick today and worked them inside the mall. I nearly forgot that Saber is actually the anxious one inside the malls, not Beary, so he did a little more tugging on the leash today than he did yesterday. Overall, though, they did really good! They were more syncronized with their Sits and Downs today, and the Place that's in the video is literally the first time I had them try it together like that. It was very much a sink or swim moment right there on video lol. They really did amazing! There was no sort of reactivity towards any of the people, only curiosity here and there. There weren't any other dogs in the mall today so we haven't gotten to test that out just yet with both of them together, but they get an A+ as far as joint behavior around people goes. They're still very much favoring the positioning of Saber on the outside, Beary on the inside, so I'll continue to reinforce that over the next couple days. I've paired both of their collars onto the same remote as well so it's easier to manage both dogs with one device. Getting used to that is taking a little practice for me too, but we're sorting it out together! We're all going to be pros at this before they go home!
5/15/26
I took Saber and Beary out to the big Arcadia Park today. I don't know if it was because of the overcast weather, but it was unusually quiet! Normally we find a lot of other dogs running around, but we only saw one while we were out! They had no reactions to the one we did see at least lol. There were quite a few of the usual squirrels out today, which I know both of them like to chase, and despite some of them chattering at the boys from the trees, we didn't have any issues with anyone breaking their Heel on that either. What we are struggling with is trying to get them both to come around cleanly into their come-to-sit. They both know to come and sit at my left side, so there's a bit of confusion on who gets to be inside and who gets to be outside lol. Saber likes to Heel on the outside, but he's determined to be flush against my leg with the Recall. It's not terrible, but it stresses Beary out a little bit because he also knows where he's supposed to be and he's trying to squeeze in anyway! They were sort of starting to figure it out by the time we left, and it's not a huge deal if they swap places for the Recall, then switch again when we start walking on the Heel, but it would look so much cleaner if they would just come straight around in formation! Everything else is looking pretty good though, and tomorrow morning we'll try Live Oak Park where I know there's typically people walking their dogs around the track. From what I'm seeing so far, though, I think their individual training has worked really well with curbing that reactivity, even when they're together. With neither of them starting anything, there's nothing to feed off of, so they're doing great!
5/16/26
It's our last day for the boys! I did take them over to Live Oak, but of course there was a big soccer game going so not too many dogs today. We aborted that plan and ran over to the dog park instead to see what I could do. There were plenty of dogs inside the park, but not too many in the process of coming and going, so I captured what I was able to near the gates. While there was zero reactivity from either one of them, which was the main concern so we're good there, they were both a little more bold while with one another in wanting to go sniff and greet. Normally I haven't had issues getting them to hold their Sits near other dogs, but you can see early in the session they broke a few times. As we kept practicing and correcting they straightened up though, and were able to hold positions as people and dogs passed, even if they were off leash. We also did a bunch of Heel work just back and forth along the fence-line reminding them they had to stay in formation and not break away to sniff through the fence unless told. They could definitely use a bit more practice just remembering that being together doesn't mean they can break early before being released, but for only having them four days and with Saber coming off a long break, it wasn't bad! The reactivity issues are non-present at least! It's been a fun journey having both Saber and Beary with me over the past couple months. Everyone in the house fell in love with them, dogs and people alike, and I'm truly going to miss them! Now that I've had them, I kind of want a Klee Kai for myself lol! They've got a lot of personality and they're very smart, and I think as long as their lessons are kept up with, they're going to continue being really fantastic dogs. Thank you so much for letting me be part of their training journey!
