How did your Pet-Kid become part of your family?

I was connected to Lakewood Kennels by another breeder I had used before and last June I flew to St. Louis, picked up my baby from the breeder at the airport, put him in my pet carrier and turned around that same afternoon and flew back to Florida with my precious little puppy.


Favorite Toy

A stuffed octopus with eight squeaky tentacles, and a raggedy old bear puppet.

Favorite Treat

He’ll do anything for hotdogs.

Favorite Activity

Chasing our greyhound, Downey, around the back yard. It’s a good workout for both of them.

Favorite Trick

The dog walk. For a month, he was terrified of it. Then one morning he just hopped on and pranced across it like he’d been doing it is whole life. We all just stood there with our jaws dropped.

How long have you and your dog been in Training?

We began basic obedience in August, 2008, agility training in November, 2008, and we have just begun advanced obedience training.

How has Saling's Obedience helped your dog?

He’s more confident and it gives both of us a special time together that is just ours.

Does your dog have any Certificates or Title?

No, but he did manage to pass basic obedience.

Any Special Stories or Comments?

Grover is just about the sweetest dog I’ve ever known. He is so happy and gentle. He’s a great joy to my husband, myself, and the other dogs in our home.
