OMG! It's a miracle! That's what I've been saying ever since we brought our sweet Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Mayzie, home from the Off Leash program at Canine Academy. Our lovable, cute 2 ½ year old, was, to put it mildly, a very spunky gal. Being our fourth Wheaten, we are familiar with and love this breed so much, but could not get Mayzie's behavior under control. After talking to Lisa and her staff, we decided this was the best thing we could do for Mayzie and ourselves, even though we would miss her so much being away from home for the length of the program. WOW! We couldn't believe the positive changes we saw the very first time we were together again. Lisa did an amazing job! It really shows how dedicated and loving she is to the dogs and families she helps. My family and friends cannot get over how well trained Mayzie is! We are deeply committed to maintaining Canine Academy's progress with Mayzie at home and through the outings they offer for a year after completion of the program. In fact, she just received her Canine Good Citizen ribbon! I am so proud of Mayzie! We made the right decision and I would HIGHLY recommend Canine Academy and the Off Leash program to anyone who wants a GREAT DOG!
"Sully"
The Pullem Family – "Sully" Wheaton Terrier
This summer our granddaughter is working for the Rochester Jaycees teaching a program they sponsor called Safety Town. The program is for preschool children (ages 4 to 6 years old) that teaches safety lessons about fire, traffic, water, strangers, dogs, guns, poison and drugs.
Our granddaughter thought it would be a good idea to use Sully in the dog safety part of the program. This would be his first adventure since graduating from the Canine Academy and passing his TDI (Therapy Dog International) test.
We couldn’t have been more proud. He sat very quietly while our granddaughter read a book about safety to the class. Then each student got in line and walked up to “Safety Sully” and asked if it was okay to pet him. He calmly let over 50 kids do this without a whimper. He has since worked at five more classes (150+ kids) without a single problem.
