If you don't mind my asking, how much does this cost? Just curious and do they do this for non-working dogs, ie obedience training.
I have seen places advertised where you can send a pet dog to be trained in basic obedience, although I am suspicious of the training methods employed
The positive dog trainers that I have read/know emphasis the relationship between the handler and the dog, and I don't know how this can be achieved if you send the dog somewhere else to be trained by someone else
There are also reports of dogs that have been sent to these places, are well behaved for a week or two after they come back, but then revert to the original behaviour because the handling/training is not maintained
What appeals to me are the intensive training camps that you can go on with your dog...I would love to do one of these, if only I could get over my horror of camping - although I suspect I will end up going to YKC Training Camp in a year or two with lil'bit
In the US they do it much better and run events in conference centres with hotel accommodation for dogs and owners
