Re: Does anyone want an AustinDoodle? Does NOT recall DOES p
I tried a whistle in the past and he didn't give a monkeys :| He's usually good with just my voice and treat/squeaky ball as prizes, I think it was just a combination of hormones, 'he knew best' and excitement frenzy :lol: We went to a different town and beach today.
