I grew up with animals in the household and we currently have a 4-month Yellow Lap and a 2-year old Black Lap. Jack and Cyder love playing with their toys inside and outside. Most loved are the treats! We train them with verbal commands and hand signals but anything is best learned with a motivational treat :) We have a big backyard with a pawn in which our dogs love to swim in. We also enjoy walks around the neighborhood and absolutely love the beach. Jack and Cy are Laps and will spend any second they get in the water :) Best times for me are the afternoons/evenings. I am pretty flexible on the weekends and just need a little heads up. Excited and happy to meet your best friend :)
