My Tatum had a dog daycare session with a trainer. She is having another session. I hope they give her more time to adjust. Because she has special needs I hope she does well!
Response from
Thank you so much for sharing that with us! That’s exactly why we’re doing these daycare intro sessions with Tatum. We see the potential in her.

Our focus is to give her the time, patience, and gentle guidance she needs so she can build confidence and transition successfully.
