Read the following passage carefully:
(1)Maggie is a Golden Doodle. However, she has turned out to be more Golden than just Doodle. She has lots of energy, is very loving and a people’s pleasure, soft and loves every minute of life. But when she was small, we called her “The Demon”! We have our reasons for naming her so. She lived to jump on me, bite me, and steal anything and everything. My goal had been to get a dog that would keep me walking every day. But more than that, I am in a period of my life where I was looking forward for a way to give back to the society. Seeing Maggie’s loving personality and high energy, I realised that Maggie needed a job and I needed to volunteer, and if we worked together, we could both have what we seek. But the little “demon” needed to be tamed first! After going through a beginner and intermediate obedience at Canine Academy, I knew that Maggie would benefit from the Off-Leash programme and that would help her to get ready to become a therapy dog, so that she could be kept busy and I could give back.
(2)She is home from the Academy now, and what a great dog she has become! She loved her training and did very well at the Canine Academy. Walks that used to be difficult earlier because at 75 lbs, her pulling on the leash was hard on me, has now turned into a pleasurable experience. We walk twice every day and she has many friends in the neighbourhood that have watched her grow from an unruly little puppy to a beautiful companion, all thanks to the Canine Academy. We train every day and she loves to attend the weekly training sessions that the Off-Leash graduates take part in. Lisa and her trainers gave Maggie the tools she needed to be an absolutely wonderful and loved dog. Now, we work together to fine tune those tools and everyone that knew her before, is quite impressed by how well-behaved she is now as compared to before. My life is so much better with Maggie in it, but part of that is thanks to the wonderful people at the Canine Academy and the great work they do with dogs and transform them. If I ever add to my dog family, we will surely be calling them again!
