Tom, Judy and Luke

Hi Brendan, We felt it is time to write you and give you an update on Luke. He is becoming “the dog we both want”. First of all, Judy has the dog that will sit calmly with her and watch TV. Using the many techniques you showed us to use, the encouragement you gave us that Luke was in fact a terrific dog…he is now becoming that dog. He now retrieves just like a Labrador should and better than some. Now, retrieving is always on his mind when I put on a jacket or go outside. We walk him every day and we can walk past another dog or person with no adverse problems. When and where possible we walk him off-leash and he is unbelievably responsive to our voice commands. I have absolutely no reservations now to take him hunting. His first trip should be next week for chucker. We can take him into the hardware stores and everyone wants to say hello and pet him. He is doing much better at meeting people. So, in summing this letter up, we want to say thank you, for your expertise and guidance regarding “making Luke the dog we wanted.”
