Rutkowski/Ward Family - "Angel" and "Jazz" - Siberian Huskies
We had been to puppy training classes, dog obedience classes, clicker training classes – none of them worked. Our two Siberian Huskies, Angel and Jazz, were just typical huskies. They paid attention for the first ten minutes, after that, they became bored. We spent much of our free time scolding them for doing things like digging holes, pulling our landscape lights out, running around the yard with our newly planted flowers hanging from their mouths. Walking on a leash was like losing in a tug of war contest. When it was time to come in, it was time for us to go out and chase them around the yard in order to get them into the house.
We found Canine Academy at the Detroit AKC Kennel Club Show and were initially very skeptical. Huskies could not be trained off leash – so we thought. Gretchen convinced us to come for a visit and we did. We spent an hour with Lisa and by the time we left, both our dogs were enrolled in the Off Leash Program. What different lives we have now…our dogs go everywhere with us. I never would have imagined that our dogs (huskies) could be running off leash down a beach not to mention coming back to my command before they reached the large flock of seagulls. It is truly amazing. I thank Canine Academy for giving us our sanity back and two GREAT dogs.
