Maybe I am naive. More and more lately I am interested in having better trained dogs. With 3 of them I need to be able to control them and have them listen to me better than they do. I want to have people over to my house and not have dogs barking from the other room or trying to jump on my guests. I dont want to have to get up in the middle of the night to take a 4 yr old dog outside because they cant hold it. So all of that said...I went to a demonstation of a dog training at a local company. I have to say it was really impressive. The trainer had this beautiful Doberman who was the best trained dog I have ever seen...then he brought out the price list...I was stunned. The cheapest class was $700 for simple obedience classes...they ranged up to $3500. What kind of people can pay that for dog classes?
