We adopted a collie that we called Lassie from a shelter, and had no idea on what we had taken on. We had already called the shelter and were going to return her, which was not an easy choice for us. One morning while I was walking her she attacked another dog, and living in a communty with lots of other dogs this was not acceptable. The shelter had told us that several families prviously had returned Lassie, and that we were her only hope for a future. Our family came to the conclusion that we needed help, and decided to call Dan McNally at the Spring Canine Academy, and give Lassie a second chance. When we began training with Dan, Lassie responded to Dan's kind, gentle, and patient training techniques. Half way through the training we were all thrilled at the progress that Lassie had made. She was not only responding to voice commands but to also some hand signals. Her confidence grew as the training went on, and she is now an obedient, relaxed, and happy dog, and is now a part of this family. Dan has helped us save her life, so that she could begin a new one with us.
Thank you for your training skills,
Charles, Sandra and Lassie

Our family was given a puppy, and soon we realized that he had fear issues that we were unable to control. He was becoming more and more afraid to meet new people and dogs. Any new situation was very frightening to him and us, because we were never sure how he was going to respond. We took him for training classes elsewhere and they were unable to get through his issues, so we called Spring Canine Academy. Dan McNally not only helped Chewy through his fear issues, but also our own. He gave us the tools we needed to have confidence in dealing with situations as they arose. After several months of training with Dan, Chewy is now going anywhere the family goes, pulling children in a cart through town, and even living peacefully with our cat-which we never thought would happen! He is no longer afraid of the world around him, and he is a well trained dog that we are so proud to have as part of our family. Thank you, Dan! Our family is very grateful for your help with Chewy!
Pat, Bill, Jeri and family
