well, i wish they would make the distinction which have this kind of training and which trainers are giving a basic course by petsmart because they are being hired as an employee. but, nope. not interested in showing him, or kyia, i have no papers on jobi and even thought kyia's parents are both champions,she is spayed now, so she is out too,lol
just interested in having jobi listen and wanted a trainer that was educated in behaviours. some of the techiques used are for what ever kind of dog. not a dog that is anxious or has separation anxiety. for example, she said if your dog runs away from you.. you should not chase them. run in the other direction, and the dog will follow you.. well not going to do that.. jobi will be hit and killed by the first car that comes along. now some dogs may follow, but if you are at obedience, i am guessing you already have a dog that does not listen or needs to learn commands. as i said. just using it as exposure now for jobi and will seek another training place afte this is done.
