Then they will come to your house, do an eval (1 session) and then give you instructions for what to do (another session, possibly combined into first session) and then give you homework and check up on you weekly and make adjustments for the hourly fee. Are you trying to find someone to actually DO the training? You don't want that anyway. It's always best to train your own dog. For example, I did 90% of Loki's training and he listens to my husband, but his response is only about half effort. Partly because my husband sometimes uses the wrong words, but even if he executes the command perfectly, Loki is just used to taking his commands from me. |
I thought it was a bit much, the lady came out and we did the eval, and she told me what they do and the tricks that you can add to the packet. Its is a 5 week to 7 week class,and the come out once a week. They do come out to your home. It sounded good what she was saying but the price is just a bit to much, so I think I will just take the time to do the training myself, I have taught her a lot she is smart and learns fast. I will be coming to the yorkie site for tips.
Thanks
