Oh, honey, I hate to burst your bubble, but that simply isn't true. Erin is right. YOu have to be very careful. There are alot of trainers out there who use physical force and corrections to get dogs to "behave". Unfortunately, the dog's owners are unaware that positive trainer works equally well. They believe trainers when they say that they must do this or they must do that.
Dogs suffer so much cruelty in the name of training. Ask me how I know. I've been guilty myself before I found positive methods and I feel horrible about it. But, never again!

Classes are so much fun. Like Erin, I started out with a puppy socialization class and haven't stopped yet. It's a great bonding experience for Joey and I.
