Vintage Verses

I wanted to give you an update on our new puppy Maddie.  I’ve had puppies before but didn’t have time to properly train them because of my young children.  We’re still working on paper training – she is about 14 weeks old now, and is a “good girl” about 90% of the time.  I’d love to hear any ideas you might have getting her to 100%.  Otherwise, she is a sweet girl that sleeps through the night, is inquisitive, & is one smart cookie.
