LOPCI has made a tremendous difference to me…without Lisa and the entire staff, I don’t know what I would have done with my one year old Golden Rescue. I was shocked when I brought my extremely energetic Max home from DVGRR (Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue), and he was completely out of control and basically had zero manners. I’ve had dogs before, and really thought I could work with him, but he continued to literally eat my house, dominate me in any way he could (even when trying to walk on the leash), and really had so many bad habits that I can’t even list. I’m sure when I brought him to training that first night, everyone thought we were a lost cause. We couldn’t even sit in the chairs and listen to Lisa. I was determined to do my best with Max, but wasn’t sure what would happen. I called DVGRR numerous times to discuss Max and his behavior and they were almost certain he would be returned. Thank goodness I met Lisa and started with the much needed training that Max NEVER had. Lisa also suggested daycare for Max to rid him of some of that pent up energy. I never saw a dog quite like him before…and am so glad that he is such a good boy now with the help of LOPCI…especially since he chose me at the Golden “meet and greet day”. I saw him, and he gave me a big kiss…something the volunteers said he didn’t normally do. 🙂 I love my boy! Thank you to Lisa and the entire staff at LOPCI! Oh, I almost forgot, Max just had a really cool summer cut by the terrific groomer at LOPCI! Now he’s even COOLER…LOL! I should also mention my other puppy…another rescue. Her name is 99, but this time, I decided to adopt a baby. She’s an angel, and has successfully completed puppy training at LOPCI. She’ll be going on to additional classes, as will Max. The two of them are destined to be therapy dogs someday, and provide some much needed smiles and happiness. In the meantime, they both enjoy daycare at LOPCI with all of their human and doggie friends! 🙂
