I just want to know that this is safe and won't hurt her. I checked the trainer out and know other people that have used him and say he is good. Still I am worried.
I would appreciate all the suggestions and thanks.
Honestly I would change schools.
I want to get Mya trained for therapy work and they say that the dogs should not be treat rewarded. So now I am trying sometimes treats, sometimes just praise, sometimes throwing her favorite toy.
I notice that dogs that work with the police are rewarded with play time and thier favorite toy after a shift or they bring down a suspect. Can you imagine a yorkie police dog?
