Flint's My Righthand Man

Flint - Border Collie Mix

Flint Flint was adopted from Buckeye Border Collie Rescue in April of 2007. He is three years old and loves attention. We sometimes call him "Mr. Happy" because he becomes so animated and excited when we go on our daily walks. Just as we are not perfect, most dogs are not as well. In Flint's case he is afraid of thunderstorms and sometimes gets motion sickness in the car. He is getting better with training and with proper socialization to address his fears.

Flint's wonderful personality far outweighs any of his shortcomings. His job is to give obedience demonstration to our clients. He also serves on distraction duty for other dogs in training. He is happiest when he is by my side working or playing with his canine friends.

It would have been tragic had he to face the possible outcome for many shelter dogs not finding a home. Thanks to a great organization like Buckeye Border Collie Rescue he got another chance for a wonderful life. The minute I saw him there was no doubt he was going to join our family. I can not tell you how much better my life is because of Flint.

What Our Customers Say About Us!

Koda's The MuNashee Promise, CGC, TDI 4th Place RRCUS National Sweeps

Dear Bill,

Tonight Nash delighted the evaluator from Therapy Dogs International (TDI) and received certification to be a Therapy Dog at the tender age of 12 months old. Nash also passed the 10-step Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. The evaluator said to his knowledge he had never given TDI certification to a Ridgeback before. The breed is typically stubborn and strong-willed.

I must say I was holding my breath BOTH times Nash was asked to sit — the easiest task on the list. He casually reached way out with his front paws, stuck his rump into the air, and elaborately stretched before slowly seating himself. Uggh! — showing some of that stubbornness. But when I stole a glance at the evaluator, he just chuckled — which caused Nash to cock his head in pure Ridgeback form with raised brow and tilted ears. From there out the evaluator kept praising Nash and saying what a beautifully behaved dog he was. I am so happy for how Nash responded after all of the training we've done together.

Thank you for your instruction. It was priceless! I had read many books, taken obedience classes, and watched many videos, but I needed those private lessons in order for you to critique me and show me where I was failing. At first, it was a bit hard on the ego, but I knew you were right, and that I needed to make adjustments in my thinking and handling. In just three one-on-one lessons, we got things turned around, and now can enjoy Nash for the incredible dog that he is. God has made him very beautiful with a temperament that is calm, curious, and eager to please. I'm looking forward to sharing Nash and God's love with others, and hoping to bring some joy to lives that may be hurting.
