The Mason Family - "Max" -Lab Mix
My 9 year-old son and I fell in love with a small, cute, 3-month-old pup that wasn’t supposed to exceed 50 pounds. Max grew to be about 70 pounds and is extremely strong, fast, and determined. We completed our Puppy Obedience Class and ended up with a well-behaved dog in the classroom, but awful elsewhere.
On the suggestion of my vet, we enrolled Max in the Canine Academy’s Off-Leash Program. It was six weeks of peace in our home!! Upon his return home, it took about three days before I was willing to let go of my death grip on the leash. Our friend s were amazed, they couldn’t believe it was the same dog. He was just as friendly as he had been before, but well mannered and well behaved. My parents, in their seventies are now willing to have him visit them in Ohio, an invitation that was never extended before training. Max now goes to my son’s football and baseball games. He goes to church meetings with me, sitting at my feet with 50-60 people surrounding him.
Max is truly the “great dog” that Canine Academy said he would be
