April is just five months old. Together we perform therapy at the foundation for the blind children in Phoenix, Arizona. Working with handicapped children, I find it helps to have my hands free of a leash. With the E-collar both of my hands are free to assist the children. We started April when she was just four months-old and already she is at a level comparable to my older dogs after a year of conventional leash training. We both enjoy the freedom of off-leash control.

Dear Toni,

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your taking the time to come to the American Girl Event.

What a great opportunity for the girls and their parents, and me, to see what training can do for a dog.  It really did help me understand how a dog can be used for handicapped people in so many ways.

I had a couple of parents come in over the weekend to express their appreciation of your presentation.

Again, thank you so much for coming.
