I just wanted to send you a few pictures of my last Golden Retriever named
Dutch. He was an awesome companion and loving friend. And thanks to the
training we received from you and Larry, he was simply an amazingly well
behaved dog.
As you'll see from the enclosed photos, Dutch enjoyed going to the park
where he could visit with the squirrels up close and personal. During this
visit he had approximately 12 squirrels within 10 feet of him and at one
point actually let a couple of them eat sunflower seeds off the tops of his
paws. And never once did he even attempt to chase them.
I got Dutch when he was just 4 months old and he accompanied me almost
everywhere I went for the next ten years. He also helped me through some of
the toughest times of my life. Unfortunately he became ill with cancer at
the age of 10 started to slow down, then suffered a catastrophic fracture of
his rear leg from a fall at the groomers; the result of which was more than
he could overcome.
Dutch was an amazing companion and he will be forever missed. Thank you for
the excellent training you provided for both Dutch and I and for building
the foundation of so many fond memories.
I look forward to attending classes again with Alayla, my new companion
(Golden Retriever).
