I think all dogs should have some type of obedience training. I NEVER thought this before, but we took Baxter and it was the BEST thing that I've ever done-that was probably the best $100 I ever spent!
They don't just teach you how to potty train-that is part of a puppy class though. The majority is behavioral things-sit, no jumping, dropping things they aren't supposed to have, walking correctly, so much stuff.
Baxter used to pull on his leash when he walked and it would choke him-he would make the coughing, honking noise. He doesn't pull any longer and he doesn't make the noise either.
Training is a good thing! PLUS, the dogs are trained amoungst other dogs which is a great thing. It's one thing for a dog to sit and behave when he is the only one, but when your dog will listen when there are strangers around and other dogs-that's important. |
