This weekend was a true testament to the outstanding training Bailey and I received at LOPCI! I was so nervous about returning to class after experiencing a death in our family and missing week five. Thank you, Lisa, for your encouragement! Bailey, my other dog and my husband and I were in Maryland at the Marina we frequent. When Bailey jumped off our boat and sped down the dock, I crouched down, flailed my arms and used my sweetest, “boop, boop, boop” voice, resulting in her immediate return! She was so well behaved in her cute life jacket. I can’t wait to bring her back for adult basic. By the way… The “leave it command” has worked many times with her!!! Saving us time and time again! Thank you for your positive approach to working with canines and especially, being patient and compassionate with their human companions!!! All the best! Jen Weinstein
