Our 7-year old yellow lab, Tucker, was suffering from arthritis in his shoulders when our vet, Dr. Frank Schober, recommended swimming. Jim was disappointed to give up daily 4-mile walks with Tucker, but his noticeable limp told us he was suffering. We were delighted when the Feed Bag opened! We signed Tucker up for fitness swimming twice a week when the pool opened and were impressed with Mark's patience and gentleness in helping Tucker get comfortable with swimming.
	At his heaviest, Tucker weighed 109 pounds. Dietary changes supervised by our vet helped, but swimming made a huge difference in both weight (now 82 pounds) and mobility. Tucker no longer limps. He wags his tail when we say "swimming!" and loves the attention he gets at The Feed Bag! We sincerely appreciate the difference swimming has made! Mary & Jim LaCharite & Tucker

Stanley, my 15 1/2 year old Beagle-Bassett mix, began having serious hind leg weakness this past May. He was having a great deal of difficulty walking and had lost all interest in life, including his food. I was tearfully telling Connie the situation and she said "Don't give up on him yet." and suggested I bring him for an exercise swim in the Feed Bag pool. I made an appointment, but didn't have high hopes as Stanley hates water except in his drinking bowl. To my amazement, he enjoyed his first session so much he even jumped back in on his own after his shower! I bought him a 5-swim package and it truly has helped his legs...and his self-image! He prances down the ramp after each session, and you can tell he's saying "Look what I just did!" I'm very grateful to Connie, Mark and Kelly for helping to give Stan a new lease on life. It's certainly a gift worth offering to an aging dog. Mary Lou Harris

Dear Mark,

I just wanted to send a short note thanking you and "Rosie" for the wonderful presentation you did at the Mequon/Thiensville Safety Town program. I was amazed at how calm and controlled Rosie was around all the children, especially in a new environment.

At the beginning of class, several of the parents told me their children were afraid of dogs and any animals. None of the children in either session were upset and all loved the presentation and most of all Rosie. Several of the parents' comments in the course evaluation stated they didn't know how to approach a dog or care for a dog. They also stated their Safety Town kids told them what they learned and educated the parents.

Thanks again to you and Rosie taking the time out of your summer to teach our kids. I also wanted to thank you for your financial support donating money to the Safety Town program.

Sincerely,

Officer Scott Nicholson
Thiensville Police

Dear Mark,
This is just a quick thanks for an awesome level 2 training class.  As a fellow dog trainer, I can honestly say that your classes are the best in the entire Milwaukee area.  We are very fortunate to have you. You tailor your program so that each and every dog receives individual attention and you set them all up to succeed, yet challenge them, at the same time.  Watching the dogs progress from week one to the last class really is a testament to how great your training program is.  And all done using only positive reinforcement!  I've seen a lot of training classes in the area, and none are as well organized and fun as yours, either.  So once again, thank you, I can't wait to hopefully, join your level 3 classes!

I want to express my appreciation for the great job that Tiffany did with grooming my Shelby today.  Tiffany listened to my requests and then used her expertise in making Shelby look great!

Thank you Tiffany for the great work!
