January started off slow, but then came my birthday (39) and a great night downtown with Dan. Plus, by mid-month I was walking again. And we ended the month at Disney, so all in all, I have no room to complain.

After the prior conversation, you see since it is never beyond any good time to prepare a dog. You can educate your dog any time at whatever stage in life. It could begin with the beginning of another year or with the new day there is no time set rule for it. You can prepare any dog who is fit n alive.
