Question

Read the passage given below

Maggie is a Golden Doodle. However, she turned out to be more Golden than Doodle-lots of energy, very loving, a people pleaser, soft, loves every minute of life. But when she was small, we called her ‘The Demon’! She loved to jump on me, bite me, and steal anything. My goal had been to get a dog that wouldn keep me walking every day. But more than that, I am in a period of my life where I was looking for a way to give back. Seeing Maggie’s loving personality and high energy, I realized that Maggie needed a job and I needed to volunteer, and if we worked together, we could both have that. But the little ‘demon’ needed to be tamed! After going through beginner and intermediate obedience at Canine Academy, I knew that Maggie would benefit from the Off_Leash programme and that would help her get ready to become a therapy dog, so that she could be busy and I could give back. She is home from the Academy now, and what a great dog she is! She loved
her training and did very well at Canine Academy. Walks that used to be difficult because at 75lbs, her pulling on the leash was hard on me, are now a pleasure. We walk twice every day and she has many friends in the neighbourhood that have watched her grow from an unruly puppy to a beautiful companion, thanks to the Canine Academy. We train every day and she loves to attend the weekly training sessions that the Off-Leash graduates take part in. Lisa and her trainers gave Maggie the tools, she needed to be an absolutely wonderful dog. Now we work together to fine tune those tools and everyone who knew her before, is quite impressed by how well-behaved she is now. My life is so much better with Maggie in it, but part of that is because of the wonderful people at the Cannie Academy and the great work they do with dogs. If I ever add to my dog family, we will surely be calling them again!
