The Schulz Family - "Bruno" - Bernese Mountain Dog
To All The People Out There Who Have A Good Dog, But Want a GREAT Dog™:
Six years ago, we acquired our nine week old Bernese Mountain dog, Bruno. We did the best we could to teach him how to behave like a good dog, but it wasn’t enough. Finally, when he was three years old, we heard about Canine Academy and the Off-Leash Program. It has changed the whole way we live with our dog.
The Academy taught Bruno that he needs us to keep him safe and because of that, he looks to us and depends on us for the commands to do just that. Bruno has been a graduate of the Off-Leash Program for almost three years now, and WOW! How our life has changed since he went to camp! The bonus to all of this is, three years later, we are still invited and encouraged to participate in the Off-Leash Outings.
Bruno has been to show and tell at preschool - twice! He walks with me to the bus stop to pick up my daughter - off-leash of course, and he lies down when the bus pulls up. My four and six year old daughters can walk him on a leash. My guests can arrive at my house for parties, while Bruno lies on his mat and watches them come in; before he would need to be the “greeter”. Bruno will come instantly when I call, even when he is in hot pursuit of a squirrel.
These are just a few examples of what they Off-Leash Program has done for our dog and our family. Bruno now enjoys a lot more privileges, and is able to participate in family outings.
Thank you so much Canine Academy! We now have a “GREAT dog”!
