When my two sons moved to homes of their own they took their fur babies with them. I knew I wanted another dog, but waited until 2019 when I retired. In May 2019 I brought Lily, an English Cream Golden Retriever into my home. Two things I knew for sure, 1. She was going to be a big girl, 2. I wanted her well trained.
Lisa had been a neighbor of mine years ago, and I knew she had started a stellar training program for dogs, it was a no brainer. Lily started at 4 months with the beginners class, then intermediate and finely advanced.
The staff inquired if I would be interested in enrolling Lily in the off leash program. I hesitated because of the cost, I was planning on a trip to Italy October 2020 and more training was not in my plan. But—at 55 pounds and strong as an Ox, an off leash program was less costly than a broken hip, so I signed her up. That was a year ago, we are still a work in progress but I have a well-trained dog that I can take anywhere. I’m glad I didn’t wait until after my trip since that’s postponed until 2022!
Lily continues to go to day training once a week, it keeps her current and she loves the staff.
