My girl is being assessed for protection soon. Opinions on this school.

Opinions please

I might give them a try;  first I would go observe a couple of their techniques in their training classes.  Best of luck.  At least they have what I could call plenty of experience.  Nan

I only live 60 miles from there but I never heard of them. But I don't buy from commercial enterprises, either, and I only go to clubs for training. Heck, you have one of the best SchH clubs in the country right in San Jose--why not go there and ask questions?

i'd go to the facility and spend the day...give it a "look see", so to speak......take your own water,chair,ect.and just watch.try to see dogs that are just starting and dogs that are near completion,if the trainer is trying to "sell" his program,then this shouldn't be a problem..but of course if you have a club close to you then i'd visit them also...good luck.

I have never seen $2,400.00 for 6 weeks of OB training...i seen that price for other training like cadaver, or protection but never for just OB....also 200 extra for display of inapproapriate aggression?

I dont know....I guess it depends on area, and/or what else is included besided OB in that 6 weeks...

Boarding & Obedience Training

4 WEEK PROGRAM: On-leash obedience, basic off-leash obedience, dog socialization, all problem behaviors. All training equipment included. $1,800.

6 WEEK PROGRAM: Dog stays at trainer's home for the last 2 weeks of training, in a real family situation, which will help teach your dog to apply the obedience training to an everyday lifestyle. - $2,400. *Please Note: For the boarding and training programs, there is a $200 dollar additional charge for dogs displaying inappropriate aggression issues.

my bad....it's CA....that makes sense.....LOL

Any program that trains the DOG and not the people who are going to be living with it is just a big money grab!

I've been to lots of dog classes, and if a dog is misbehaving, it's almost always the handler/owner's fault!  How is two weeks in the trainer's home going to correct THAT?

i was soo angry when one of my puppy parents was like worshiping this trainer she was preaching to me how he was going to help her will this pup ( the puppy has some fear problems as the lady kept her inside untill she was almost 5 months) so she asks me to come to one of the trainings. this pup growls at people and barks at them if they get close to her. well the trainer every time the pup would growl at him He would slap her and the owner would just stand there holding the leash i didnt wanna say anything as im trying to be polite here. but i feel the Handler should be giving any correction to the dog if a stranger hits her it would just make her more agressive no ? i was just like wtf kind of trainer are you and then convinces this woman that the puppys agression and fear issues are genetic one of the parents must have this issue. so i bring both parents down and asked him now excuse me please tell me where there is fear. Well then it must be in their ansestry no german shepherd puppy acts like this. one of my friends has show lines someone did the same thing this dog you can barely take out of a crate she is soo scared of everything. and in 2 litters i have had no fear problems till this lady and even my gut told me not to sell a pup to her and i still did o well you learn from your mistakes.
