We dropped Nico off at Upstate Canine Academy today, wish him luck! We really like their whole “No Bad Dogs” philosophy and were impressed with their facility and staff. Nico was crazy when we brought him in, which we’re glad the trainers could see our challenges with dealing with his excited energy. He did ok demonstrating his basic obedience, BUT didn’t do as well as he normally would due to the excitement and distraction. While Nico is away we’ll be studying up on all the great online resources they have so we can all keep moving forward when he comes home.
