So she had them for around a year as puppies....
Our kids the first time they saw the dogs, of course went over to pet them. I told the kids don't... But SIL said "actually let them since part of the training for the dogs is to NOT respond and to stay on task".
I kind of felt bad since my kids where the "training" exercise for the dogs! It felt mean to do that to the dogs, but I guess that is necessary
Some of the dogs didn't make the program and SIL got to keep them. Best pets ever! Now they play with kids and are great!!
