More: Lily is the smartest dog we’ve ever had. She was rehomed at 8 months old. The day we brought her home my husband described her as a “train wreck”. Boy did he learn to eat those words. I immediately enrolled her in obedience training as well as a doggy day care for socialization. We were amazed at how quickly she learned. She stayed in obedience training for more than four years because she loved it. The room was like her private gym. She’d play all kinds of “find it”as well as agility games. She was also certified as a therapy dog. I discovered that the name “Lily” means “pure love”, need I say more?
