Best Trick: Camp Counselor “Qyain” says it’s good that my mom found Michele at Denver Dog Works because she can help me figure out the world and not feel so scared. I don’t like it when people walk up behind or suddenly go in front of me too closely – I have nipped and bitten people on their ankles. Michele and Kyle are working to help me gain confidence.

Bio: I am 8 years old. I was “loved” by my mom very much and was placed on a pedestal and could basically do as I pleased. It was a dog’s life for sure.
