Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!
Lisa and the staff at the Canine Academy certainly can!!
We have 2 dogs. Chewy who is 7 and Duma who is 1. Both are Australian shepherd mixes.
When our children gave us Duma I decided that I really wanted a well- behaved dog. I was determined that she would come when I called her, be nice around dogs and not use the furniture as her bed – all the things which our other dog Chewy was NOT doing!
We decided to send them both away to be trained on and off leash. It was the best decision we made- for us and the dogs!
Chewy is now much calmer and more confident in himself. He no longer feels the need to attack other dogs on our walks and he always comes when called. He really is a true professional!
Duma no longer pulls on her walks and even though she is full of energy she now follows commands very well and is the sweetest dog. The support system from the canine academy is truly amazing!!
We use their kennels every time we go out of town and the dogs love it because it is their second home. Chewy used to hate to go to a kennel but now when we take him he wags his tail and is so happy to be there! The kennel staff is very caring and professional. The dogs even get more training sessions when they are being boarded so it really is a win- win situation!
We are also taking advantage of the yearlong group training sessions that are included in the training fee. We try and go at least twice a week to keep our dogs socialized with other dogs and to keep ourselves 'trained!' We all love our weekly outings and are hoping to participate in some of the specialized training sessions that are offered. Thank you again Canine Academy for helping us have 2 GREAT DOGS. Lisa and Staff- you are the best!!
