My dog Rosie turns four years old February 22.
Just a few days later, February 28 marks two years since my wife Katie and I adopted Rosie from the Coon Rapids Humane Society. Rosie s the first dog I ve ever had, and I knew from the beginning that I wanted her to be a well-trained, obedient dog. I immediately began putting in the work of training her to sit, stay, lie down, roll over and shake. Over the past couple of years, she s learned those commands as well as words like couch, back door, ball, potty, treat, and her favorite car ride. It s fair to say I m both pleased with the work I ve put in and proud of the dog Rosie is today!
