The Washburn Family - "Sky" German Shepherd
After we lost our great companion of 13 years we thought we would never come across another dog to take her place. But 4 months later we ended up with a cute German Shepherd puppy. We named her Sky, she was so cute but we quickly learned we did not have the same patience we had 13 years ago. Sky became a hand full! Taking her for a walk was a very unpleasant event and her jumping, barking and just getting into everything had us at our wits end. We signed up for a 6 week, one day a week puppy class through Canine Academy and by the end of the class we realized we needed the pros to take over. It was a BIG decision to make, not only would we not be able to see her for 4 - 6 weeks we were also apprehensive that she would lose her playfulness and worse case scenario not remember us. Well, it has been 3 months since she finished her Off Leash Training and she is such a GREAT dog! Although she still has her mischievous moments, pulling it together is as simple as a one or two word command followed by praise. Life is good and Sky is a joy to have around thanks to the Canine Academy. Thanks to all of the trainers!
