Bob and Susan Madole–"Kirby"- Standard Poodle
Kirby was just a pup when we added him to our family, which included a 12yr old Standard Poodle named Cody. Everything got crazy. Kirby was in desperate need of manners. We decided to enroll him in the Canine Beginner and Intermediate Obedience classes. While his behavior definitely improved, we felt he was capable of much more. Since both my husband I work full time, we had limited time to devout. We saw dogs that had graduated from the “Off Leash” program, and were envious. The difficult decision was parting with him for the 6 week training period. What if he didn’t remember us when the course was finished?
All doubts were dispersed when his training was over. Today Kirby is an obedient, very well behaved, yet still playful, young pup. He is eager to please and earn our praise. Cody is also appreciative as Kirby no longer ‘picks’ on him. Civility has returned to our household!
The best part is Canine Academy’s continued support well after Kirby’s training. They encourage us to participate in extra off-site classes, attend pet-friendly outings, walk in parades, etc. They realize we, the ‘parents’, need instruction and reminders on how to continue getting the most from our great dog. Enrolling Kirby at Canine Academy was one of the best things we did for him and our family.
