- Too Much Awesome to list it all….

Working dog kaiser

Kaiser is our therapy working dog at the training center. Born in California, but being raised in El Salvador he enjoys the full run of the complex and especially loves it when friends throw a stick or ball for him to sprint after. High Tide will find him jumping into one of the training center pools, but give this speedster mid to low tide and the Playa is his Home!
