Eleven years ago, I found my four-legged ""soulmate"", Toby. He was a gorgeous rescued Rottweiler with the sweetest temperament, and he loved to train. Being an experienced dog owner/trainer, and a former veterinary assistant, I assumed I would be able to train him with no problem. Well... not so much. He was other-dog aggressive, and extremely powerful. I was completely ill-equipped! I had heard terrific things about Duffy for years, so I started taking Toby to private lessons. I learned read more ? SO much! My skills grew, his problems lessened, and he became the most wonderful big boy ever. Over the years, he eventually grew to have several doggie friends, including my own two miniature Dachshunds, with whom he showed the greatest patience and gentleness. Matt and David helped me turn a good dog into the BEST dog! We lost our sweet boy to cancer this year, and he has left a huge hole in our hearts, and in our home. Now, I am bringing my tough little ""weiner dogs"" to Duffy's to continue the legacy, and to brush up on my skills. I want to be able to take them everywhere I go, and possibly train them as therapy dogs. We are on our way! Matt and David feel a little like family to us, because they helped us make our family what it was, and what it will be again. I tell everyone with a big dog, a problem dog, or a new dog, about Duffy's Training Center. Most often, it is the owner that is causing the problem, not the dog, and our pets deserve better from us. Duffy's gives you the tools, your dog gives you all the rewards!!!.
