Time is quickly running out for my time with Tess. Tess has blossomed into a dog with a heart as big as Texas who would go to the ends of the earth to please me. She is still cautious of strangers, both dog and people, but is quicker to warm up now that she has learned to trust people.

She has a blast learning new things, however she is a very soft dog and training has to be slow and positive. Tess has taught ME as much as I have taught her. Relationship is so important and part of that relationship is trust. She has to trust me to be fair and kind and I have to trust in her that she is trying her hardest and she usually is!
