Got a trainer! I met with a trainer today at his house and he uses techniques very similar to Cesar, the dog whisperer. I decided to give him a try since Maddie doesn't seem to listen to a word I say about 50% of the time. He is pretty expensive but he has a contract that is pretty awesome. He will keep coming until the dog is trained to a certain extent. He comes to the house and doesn't charge per hour. You pay a flat fee and he comes and stays until it is done. Our first session is Friday. I'm excited but also nervous. Maddie is 13 weeks and I have been letting her sleep in bed with me and that is a no no right now with this guy so I'm going to get her trained first and then I can move her back to the bed. I really hope I can stick with this! Wish me luck! |
