I brought Cassie to Lisa at the Canine Academy in the spring of 2004. She was a six-month old sassy rescue. We tried a couple of puppy classes at the Academy but Cassie was having nothing to do with me telling her what to do, even showing a bit of aggression.
After some discussion with Lisa and assuring her that I did not want to give up on Cassie, she recommended six weeks of Off-Leash training with her…
So off to boot camp she went. At the end of six weeks, I could hardly believe it was the same dog who came back to me. She was a happy dog, ready to respond to every command.
We were given a full year to attend classes for help and practice as needed. We also joined the Academy on numerous outings, agility exercises, and good citizen certification; even became registered as a Therapy dog team. What fun for Cassie and I!
I have enjoyed my best friend for almost 14 years, and I’m so glad we found the Canine Academy.
