This letter is to let you know how proud we are of Max, because of your expertise in training us and him. We are still amazed at how well he listens... we can now have company and not be afraid of him being in the room with us. After he says hello to our visitors we can tell him to "sit" or "down" and he will! When company leaves he does not get up and run to the door, or make a fuss... we can say "stay" and he will sit and not move until we call him. We can remember when it was impossible to have company in the same room with him, and being a 120 pound Rotti is very intimidating.
We thank God that we found you because the possibility of ever having to give up Max, or putting him down for harming someone would have been devastating to us. You have given us the confidence that we can improve his behavior by being consistent with him. As you suggested, training is a daily thing, and it can be fun for us and Max.
Again, thank you so much for your patience with Max (and us). And, it is also wonderful for us to know that we can leave him with you when we go away, and we do not have to worry about the way he is being cared for.
Thanks again, and God Bless.
Mike, JoAnn and Max Ortiz |
