“It has been almost a year since we met you, and what a pleasure it has been! I have had several dogs through the years. The thought of sending them away for training was the one thing I never considered out of fear of how they would be treated.

My Sam was a rambunctious young Newfoundland who was growing quickly physically but not mentally. He desperately needed more training than I had time for. After talking with you about different options I decided your Residence Camp was the best choice. WHAT A GREAT DECISION IT WAS! If it weren’t for his distinctive look I would have thought that you returned a different dog to me!

Before Sam went to camp I didn’t enjoy walking him or taking him places because he was so big and unruly. He was also quite the escape artist from the yard. Sam is now the perfect gentleman. Thank you for not only training Sam, but for training me to work with him properly. I am enjoying your drop in classes too. They are fun and help keep us on track.

Sam earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate shortly after his Camp term and became a certified therapy dog at the workshop you sponsored. I can share him with others and be confident in his behavior and my control. You are Sam’s Newfound- love. He perks up whenever he sees you, which tells it all. He gained a new Auntie!”
