Archie
was adopted in December 2007 and was shy, refused to walk on a leash,
and could not walk up the stairs. Within the first week, he began to
feel more comfortable around people, proudly walked up and down the
stairs, and enjoyed walking on a leash.
In
January, we brought him to Level I classes at
Carolark
School for Canine Behaviour in Kanata, ON and he really began to
blossom. It wasn't long before we realized we had the smartest dog in
the class (maybe we are a little biased!). Now, he can sit, stay, lie
down, roll over: overall he is well behaved, calmer, and much more
confident. We are currently in the process of signing him up for
Level II classes to keep up with the training. In the future, we will
also be taking him to agility training!
Around
the house, he is a happy, quiet boy. He LOVES being around people and
cuddling. He is such a good boy and a wonderful addition to our
family.
