Now wait a minute. I sent Carlo to a 3 week class after his 3 Puppy Kindergartens. The training was fun for him, he loved the place, and I visited him every 3rd day. After he completed the 3 week class, then we worked together as a team training together...We then did Distraction classes, Tracking, and when he was mentally developed, he did PP protection training. Some places are outstanding. When we travel, he stays there, and they have always used him as a Dempo Dog for new people to see how a trained dog can be.
Now my wife did not let Maxine go, and we did it together with her. I think a lot has to do with the Dog, and the parents. Either way, boarding and training, or just going to class with the dog for an hour at a time is great. Good luck. The key is to make it fun. Carlo needed to work and be kept busy. Maxine needed to be sitting on a lap looking beautiful! |
