[NAGDU] Hello

[Jackie]

His name is Tyrus and he is a yellow lab. He will not go on concrete. I’ve tried and he just won’t do it. Maybe train him on puppy pads and carry those?

He won’t go on concrete so I’m really worried about it. Has anyone been to the Washington Seminar before? How did you handle this???
