  • Must listen if you have a new puppy.

    Sarah introduced me to my new puppy. Always had older rescue dogs so an 11 month old puppy was a new experience. Quickly became apparent I had no idea how to deal with a dog this young. I would have lost my mind without Sarah’s wise words. Some of her simplest points were the most important: puppies need naps. Who knew??
