WHAT OUR RUNNERS SAY
Aimee K. on 8-16-26: "Temperament: Friendly, Friendly, Friendly! Puppy energy, but leveled out with in 10 minutes of our walk. Very dog friendly, non-reactive and very neutral with people. Stage 5 clinger to his person.
Leash handling: Hyper and excited at the very beginning, wanting to pull, but when his human stayed still, he sat between legs and stayed quiet. Once moving, he was not much of a puller and happy to stay right at your feet - he did not enjoy being a lead dog and prefers to run in the middle of the pack."
