Has anyone every sent ther dog to school? If so what kind of trainin? How long were they ther? What was the cost? and do you think it was worth it? Also add anything else I should know about them.
If it's just obedience training that you want, do it yourself if you have the time. It's easy and creates a bond with the dog. Buy a video like Duck Dog Basics by Chris Aiken for $20. The first few chapters of the video are about obedience. I used that and after a month, you'd think my lab was a show dog. He sticks to my side at heel at a run, walk, turns, anything. When I stop, he sits. He sits on the whistle no matter where or what he's doing. Comes every time he's called, etc.. Or Petsmart has obedience classes at each of their stores. I think they are about $120 for eight classes. They have beginner, intermediate and advanced levels and you have a trainer to ask questions to.
I trained my old dog to sit, stay, come, fetch, and give his paw. just the basic but that was 15yrs ago. I was just wonderin whatall people have done with there dogs.
