Luna and Nero LOVE their popper vest, so we brought it out for a little fun after our walk on Wednesday morning. If you have read Our Story, you know that Luna was a fearful, anxious and reactive rescue German Shepherd Dog. She has zero socialization and definitely no obedience training when we rescued her. I’m so proud of how far my baby girl has come…look at her now. There are no limits to what you can accomplish with your dog with the proper training, commitment, consistency and dedication. ## Like this post? ### Share Know someone who would like this content?
