I wanted to post a rave to the service dog academy.
I have an older dog who still loves to do things and be active, but can’t run around like he used to. He has always enjoyed learning new tricks and being the center of attention. After emailing back and forth with Mary from the service dog academy, I decided to enroll him in the party tricks class. We both enjoyed the class so much. He loved every second of it and learned so much. They even modified some of the tricks that could be hard for an older dog (or even a very tall or small dog) to do. Mary’s training was very gentle and rewarding, all the dogs seemed to enjoy it very much. They even made a cute video demonstrating that you can teach an older dog new tricks, starring my dog.
