Haha Shiloh is a handful you did a great job. I will dig up that harness for next time. It will take a professional to get him to walk nicely like when he was a puppy. Thanks again!

The atmosphere is dog-friendly and you are both sure to make many new friends with both two and four legs in your travels through Sylmar. If you want to get the most out of your time in the area, pack up your waste bags and extra treats and head for any of the local fields where you can spread out a blanket and relax with your canine pal.
