Congratulations and good luck at your training session.
When I was looking for a class for Chizzie a "training collar" was on the list of recommennded equipment. After speaking with the trainer she agreed to allow a harness for Chizzie. She cautioned me that my results might be as quick as the others, but her statement to me was, "I will not dictate what type of equipment to use on your dog. I only make recommendations." Don't get me wrong, there were certain thing she did NOT allow -- retractable leashes for one, but as far as the collars/harness issue, she was very flexible.
Chizzie went to several of the classes and we did GREAT (except Chizzie wanted to fight everyone), but alas I got sick and had to drop out. I am going to reschedule her in a future class -- this trainer is fantastic -- she guarantees her classes for the life of the dog and you can repeat the class as a refresher as many times as you want. Cyndi is a high level agility trainer/competitor and her reputation in my area is impeccable. |
