Jessica says of Levi: “Levi was a kennel dog. He was 1 year old when I got him and he hated toys, was dog- and people-reactive, and scared to death of loud noises. Now he’s the most calm, level-headed dog. He loves other dogs and kids and doing demonstrations at elementary schools and events. Agility has done so much to bring his confidence up. Every time someone says ‘agility’ or ‘ball,’ he goes crazy. Now, at almost 5, I couldn’t ask for a better Novice A dog. He truly made me the handler I am today, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
