Testimonials
“Legend has had a wonderful 2023 year so far. I’m extremely happy to share with you all his accomplishments this year. On March 16th Legend earned his Therapy Dog Novice (TDN), May 14th he earned his CPE C-ATCH and on June 4th he earned his CDX. We were able to accomplish all three of these goals by the time Legend turned 3 years old. We put in a lot of time & hard work but we kept it fun as we grew & learned from one another. Legend has been a true inspiration in my life.”

“Journi earned her C-ATCH on July 18th, 2021. We both have learned to trust each other & I never thought I’d say this, but agility has really brought us closer together. It’s been a pleasure to be agility partners with such a brave & outgoing girl. I have a shirt with a person running with their dog that says, “Stride by Stride, Always By Your Side”. You & me, Journi, stride by stride, I’ll always be at your side. Congratulations Journi! I love you girl! In addition to this achievement, I’d like to also add that Journi earned her AKC Therapy Dog title on January 12,2021. She completed 100+ visits for the therapy group Paws For Friendship. The smiles we’ve brought, the tears of happiness & the memories we’ve awakened are beyond anything we’ll ever accomplish.”

“Reilly has his C-ATCH-3 and C-ATE. He is currently 360 points away from his C-ATE-2, he has all his extraordinaire titles, as well as his 10,000 points title. His cumulative lifetime points is 13915. He has been to Nationals a total of 3 times – twice in Ohio and once in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, the last 2 have been cancelled. We love Doggie U and appreciate all of you tremendously. I still recall a not so good experience when getting his C-ATE at another place, which was so disappointing. However, it was the very next trial when all of you at Doggie U made it memorable. I will never forget the roses and how special all of you were in celebrating his C-ATE. Now, we can look back and have some good and warm memories! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!”
