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
