Mellie

Mellie is my second dog that was trained by Lisa.  The first was so successful that there was no question that Mellie would go through the program as soon as I could get her enrolled.  Mellie was 9 weeks old when I brought her home.  She is a Labrador Retriever Mix.  She always had a great personality and has never met a human that she doesn’t like, but by 6 months she was getting hard to handle.  She was so enthusiastic about meeting new people, old friends and other dogs that she could be intimidating.  She also got into a great deal of puppy mischief at home.  I replaced one cell phone due to her teeth and had to make sure there was nothing that she could eat on the kitchen counter.  She was always too close when I ate my meals.  So, off she went to Lisa.  I got her back at almost 8 months old.  She was a different dog.  Still a cuddlier and sweet tempered as before, but now she listened!  She doesn’t stick her nose in my plate and my new cell phone is safe.  Walks with her now are a dream, whether on or off-leash.  I always planned to make her a therapy dog, so that’s the next goal after she turns one.  Now everyone in the condo complex loves her and she is welcome everywhere a dog can be welcomed.  Thank you, Lisa.  You did it again!!
