Meet the Assistant
Remus is a Beagle/Coonhound mix who Aubrey rescued at seven months of age in January of 2022. He has an inherently sweet and easygoing temperament, which makes him a fantastic decoy dog during training sessions. His favorite behavior to demonstrate is “Down” and his favorite treat is baked beef liver.
