My apologizes for never updating!...
So we finished class with Brad - and totally loved it!!!!! Charlie knows all his basic commands, and astonishes people everyday with his listening skills!
On top of Brad being a great trainer - we now use him for boarding as well. Since hiring Brad last winter to train Charlie as a 2 month old puppy, Charlie has gone to stay at Brad's while we've been out of town. AND HE LOVES IT SO MUCH! Brad has two dogs of his own which Charlie loves to play with, and has access to wonderful doggie door to go outside. It's like dog heaven for him. It's sad but true, that Charlie never seems to want to come home after Brad's because he loves it so much. But we can't blame him!
Additionally, Brad went above and beyond during our last trip - as Charlie had a last minute surgery scheduled before we were going to be leaving the country. Brad ensured us that we wouldn't need to change our trip plans and he would do all the running around to and from the vet with Charlie, and take care of him post-op.... ISNT THAT AMAZING? Not a lot of people would probably volunteer to do that. And we felt very safe with Charlie in Brad's care.
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! read more
