We are so proud of Cleo, a graduate of our Tricks Class, who is the very first Newfoundland ever to earn an Expert Trick Dog Title from Do More with Your Dog.  Cleo was in Anne's puppy class when she was 8 weeks old, and still loves to learn!  Cleo is owned and loved by Roseann Benson and trained with positive training.
