We wanted to provide an update. Kato has done nothing but bring joy into our lives since we picked him up in Utah last March. He loves to play, hike, camp, and be active with us. He especially loves to play with a soccer ball, he chases it and moves it around with his nose. He goes to doggie day care once a week to socialize and we receive tons compliments on how well behaved he is. Plus, he’s never met a dog or person he hasn’t liked…. Kato even tries to befriend aggressive dogs at the dog park! We’ve trained him to to sit, stay, come, shake, leave-it, drop-it, high-five and lay down along with corresponding hand signals. We took your advice and used Zak George’s training techniques, such a great resource!  By the way, you don’t offer a discount for returning customers do you? 🙂 He might need a brother or sister in the near future!  Thanks again for giving us the best experience and the best dog! (Not bias at all)
