A Little Dramatic: He has opinions and isn’t shy about expressing them in the most theatrical puppy ways.

🐶 Puppy Learning in Progress

He’s working on potty training and figuring out the basics of being a well‐mannered little guy. With consistency and patience, he’ll thrive — he’s smart, eager, and full of heart.
