She is everything we asked for and more. I took her to my vets to get more heartworm prevention and have her weighed so we know how we are doing with her nutrition and she was an angel. My vet is very impressed with her behavior and wishes all her clients dogs were so well behaved. She loves her nice comfy bed and now sleeps right beside my bed. We keep the crate close by but she prefers where she is. The other dogs have all adjusted well to her being here. Morgan is still Alpha but Quinte has accepted this for now. She likes to race around the back yard with Myles and Moose playing tag and seems to be the one who initiates all the play!!! She has not left my side and is really attached to me. I think she enjoys farm life and all the activity going on. We are at the cottage now and the trip did not stress her at all. As long as she is with us she seems content. We took all the dogs for a boat ride yesterday and she sat up in the bow of the boat taking in the scenery and smelling all the smells. She took a real interest in the seagulls as they are loud and annoying!!! She ended up sound a sleep on the floor of the boat in a heap with the other dogs and had a great day that ended with a great meal by the camp fire and a walk on the beach (which she also loves...although the labs have not convinced her to do more than wading around in the water!!!) I think we are doing very well with her and everyone seems peaceful....we are all laughing at my mom because she was the one who was against the dog and was quite upset that we had got her. She was afraid her grandchildren were going to get attacked...well yesterday my mom and dad came over and Quinte slept peacefully at my feet on the front porch while we had a cup of tea together. My mom petted her a few times and went on and on about maybe she was a dud because she did not seem protective at all and maybe we paid alot of money for a dog that was not even going to bark!!! (people on bikes were going past and people walking etc.) Beth started giggling because we had all seen Quinte in action with you Patrick and found it funny that my mom thought she was not a good watch dog even!!! That evening my Mom came back over with some special chicken gravy for Quinte's dinner as the "poor dog is too thin!!!!" and needs some of Grandma's cooking!!! That made me feel better that she has accepted her. So all in all things are going awesome. She is everything we have hoped for and more. I would also like to add that you made it so easy for us Patrick. You were wonderful to work with and made the transition so easy for us. We were very impressed by your work ethic and wish we could find people like you to work for us up here!!!! Our young guys seem so unmotivated and unloyal to our company sometimes...just doing the bare minimum and not caring for their jobs. You could tell you really care about your job and how you do it. You lead by example and are very hard working...Paul and I think you will go far!!!! Your energy is awesome and the kids are still talking about you and telling their friends about their American friend from South Carolina. Thanks for including them and making them feel part of it all. They are still laughing about Moose and his stinky roll in the poo. I feel safe in my own home for the first time in a long time. It feels so good to curl up in bed a night and just let her do the listening. It has given me peace of mind. I feel alot more relaxed and I didn't even realize how stressed I was until now. I don't worry about the kids out in the yard. I feel confident going for walks in the woods again and she is a comfort to have around. I even fell asleep in the deck chair with her at my feet knowing she would let me know if someone was around. Paul said: You never do that!!! I could really get into this napping thing!!!! I might not get any work done..... All for now...the weather has been super cool up her ( low 50's at night...sweater time) I think the climate agrees with Quinte...we are turning her into a real Canadian up here....eh? Thanks again-Jana and Paul Client Testimonials Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:20:00 -0600 http://harrisonk9.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/8/2/QuinteFinally-I-feel-Safe http://harrisonk9.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/6/25/Cessy-and-Abigail Dear Harrison K-9 Here is a photo of our protection K-9 Cessy we purchased from you over two years ago. As you can see her and our little girl Abigail are the best of friends. Cessy is very devoted to Abigail and they often sit together and watch cartoons. In this photo Abigail has fallen asleep on Cessy and Cessy, good as ever keeps watch quietly and never moves until she wakes up. Thank you for such a wonderful family companion. Cessy fills the bill as protector, babysitter and special friend.

She is everywhere with me and fits in quite well. She is always watching, and never lets her guard down when we are out. I couldn't have asked for a better companion. She is good with the public, but yet ready to defend in an instant. She goes from " Teddy Bear" to " Nightmare" with just a word, and back to " Teddy Bear" when told that everything is fine. I will be purchasing another Harrison K-9 in the near future, your standards are high and that is what I like. PS. She has never asked for food when I'm eating, has never gotten into anything, and if I leave anything out including her own snacks, she won't take them unless I give them to her. I couldn't dream of another dog as great as she is. Perfect is the only word that fits.

This weekend our daughter was quite ill with a cold, and last night at 2 a.m. we were all sleeping when apparently our daughter fell out of bed and became quite disoriented with a temperature of 105 calling weakly for help, as she has also lost her voice due to the cold. Unfortunataely, all the doors were closed and our bedroom is at the opposite side of the house, so we slept through it. Tessa did not sleep though it. She kept going from me to my husband to me nudging us to wake up until we finally relented, thinking she had to go to the bathroom. But no, that was not what she needed. She kept running to our daughter's door and back to us, until we figured it out. Thank you for our wonderful dog! We are incredibly grateful!

I originally purchased Dasi for protection because I was running 5 restaurants and wanted to feel safe traveling. Every Top Hotel let Dasi come right in. Dasi is not only Beautiful, but was the Best Behaved Dog I have ever known. She is the Love of my Life. We have two cats and Sophie is in love with Dasi. Before the kittens came home, I tacked up pictures of the kittens. Some near her water bowl and around the house around her bed so she would be used to them. it worked like a charm. She is so smart. It was like she knew them already and they loved Dasi right away. It is getting close to Dasi closing her eyes and I had to look up your site to let you know that she has been everything I ever wanted in a dog, but more than that she knows my every move and I know hers. We have had a great life together and I have taken Dasi everywhere I go, we are never apart. She has been Loved Everyday...She will be hard to let go.
