Abbie-Kate is my Border Collie mix, an intelligent and energetic girl who shares my zest for life. Every Dog Can, Inc., was recommended by my veterinarian to help train her with the goal of becoming a therapy dog to work with me in my public school speech pathology practice. Since she was a small puppy, Abbie-Kate has been taught and socialized with the expertise provided by certified trainer Deborah Grodecka. As we progressed through three levels of classes, we have learned basic and advanced commands and skills to help us be successful at home and in the public school environment. Every Dog Can also provided me with in-house professional consultation at my workplace for concrete advice on how to help my therapy dog program succeed. And their regular Doggie Social Hour socialization sessions have been invaluable to help Abbie-Kate interact beautifully with other dogs and people and learn self-control.

Because of the positive nature of training at Every Dog Can, my bond with Abbie-Kate is exceptionally strong. She is a happy, well-adjusted girl who enjoys other dogs and people. She is well-behaved in public and welcomed at my school. We will definitely reach our goal of becoming a certified therapy dog team!
