"All aboard! 🚂🌲🌊 Sherwin took his very first train ride through the redwoods to the Beach Boardwalk and handled every sight, sound, whistle, and new experience like an absolute champ. From the rumbling train tracks to all the people, smells, and excitement, it was the perfect socialization adventure for this future service dog in training."

Thank you for visiting!
