There is nothing harsh about what we do. Our attempts to train you have obviously failed. When given these choices your dog would probably opt for the temporary discomfort of the training over the permanance of the other options. There is no magical answer to solving these problems. It takes time, patience, and an understanding of the problem and the solution.
Some problems are extinguished, while others are managed.
But, all problems are resolvable once your dog understands his new responsibilities. You may want to click on the pattern of learning screen to learn more about the dynamics of our training. An orientation is given at the beginning of each class. You will see a demonstration and a complete presentation of the program. If, at the end of that orientation, you are prepared to make the commitment to train your dog, you can enroll.
