    Thanks American K-9 Academy. Liz and Mike are great, they treat your dog as there own and do a great job. My 2 year old catahoula leopard dog mix was giving us a run for our money on walks. Hes a 100lbs. He was unmanageable for my family if he saw a distraction. Mike worked with our dog for 5 weeks.. As well as with us pet owners…..Well what was supposed to be 5 weeks…. I saw such an improvement with my dog by the 3rd week, i actually wanted to take him home… by the 4th week i said to Mike, Im bringing him home… Our dog Chip was more than content where he was. Myself and the rest of my family missed having our dog at home. Anyways, we brought him home after 4 weeks. How great its been. This dog went from where you could not walk him; he literally had dragged my wife down the street. To Now… he heals at your side, sits until you give him the O.K. To break.. He will lay down now. He will even stay once hes in a sit or down position, I can have him sit at the porch while i go to my mailbox. We are glad to have our improved but still goofy family dog home.
