What this means to you:
When you adopt a Leroy’s 2nd Phase Working Dog, you are adopting a very special friend whose priority is pleasing you.
In addition to pure intelligence, Leroy’s 2nd Phase Working Dogs read your body language and strive to learn what you want them to do. They will take treats if they feel that pleases you. But their heart blooms when you reward with praise and love.
