“Kawvika”

The Dew Family – “Kawvika” – Pitbull

I bought Kawvika from a good friend of mine in Hawaii who breeds show Pitbull's.  I already had a 5 year old Cockapoo named Sassy but I wanted to own a Pitbull my whole life and it was never a good time to get one.  After lots of thought, I did what I wanted to do for so long, and that’s to own a Pitbull.  I got Kawvika, and knew when he got older I would have to get him trained at some point.  Well at 9 months old Kawvika weighed 105 pounds and was still growing, so I knew it was time to get him trained.  I found out about Canine Academy through the dog park I took Kawvika to.  I met a guy there who said a friend of his took his dog to Canine Academy, so I did some research and set up a meeting with Lisa.  I felt very comfortable with her and her training dogs.  When I dropped Kawvika off for his six week, Off Leash Training Program, Kawvika would not listen to me, he wouldn't come when I called him, he wouldn't sit or stay, and I could not walk him-he would pull me around every time I took him out.  When I picked Kawvika up from the Canine Academy 6 weeks later, he was a new dog!  I couldn’t believe how smart he was!  Kawvika was taught 15 commands and hasn’t failed me yet.  The best thing I ever did for my dog was to bring him to the Canine Academy.  Lisa and her staff are great, and if I ever get another dog, I will be bringing it to Canine Academy.  Thanks again for a GREAT dog.
