My Nonprofit Reviews

I sat here after reading anonymous review about Canine Partner for Life, out of Cochranville, PA! I like many others am a recipient of CPL's, not only 1 service dog, but 2. My 1st dog I went thru class with back in 2003, and my successor dog in 2007; so I have spent a total of 6 training weeks on that campus.(and hundreds of hours there visiting, volunteering , supporting other classes, etc) Let me tell you , I have NEVER seen any type of rough training, let alone abuse of any dogs, yes corrections, but certainly NOTHING that needed to be reported. Trust me as big of a dog lover as I am if I had seen it, I personally would not only have reported it, I would have opened my mouth to whom ever I saw doing it. I feel the click n treat method that they use is such a humane way to teach the wonderful dogs what we need them to do, but no they are NOT robots MISS ANONYMOUS, and yes, they do make mistakes, and need stern vocal corrections, or what I call that mom's voice as needed. As far as a growling dog, and testing not occurring obviously you have very little experience in even pet training Ma'am, they will test you from a pup on up til the day they pass on, and with the intelligence that these dogs have, even more so; thinking perhaps this dog was smarter than it's 2nd recipient and could have been a good judge of personality?? Yes CPL has at times had dogs not work out with matches for one reason or another, mostly it's due to issues with recipients, bit off more than they could handle, health issues worsening, and even when they can't handle the dog, it can happen but I can tell you that if you were to look at statistics I bet you would find that they have one of the highest success rates in placements and teams that stayed together! I mean after all it is like a marriage of sorts if you think about it. As for wanting reimbursed your money, if I were you, I would stop spending less time online slandering a wonderful organization that has changed so many peoples lives and go find a part time job and earn that $1000 back if you miss it so much ma'am, or if you work already do some OT. For folks reading these reviews, I do agree with this person about one thing in her entire review.......do your research, as I did, and as you do I know you will read and see about the support, professionalism of this organization and family that is gained, our CPL family, that each and every one of us have truly come to love, well most of us. Sincerely, A very PLEASE CPL recipient!
