[GypsysMom]

I agree not to send the dog away to training, some people swear by it, my trainer had it available but it was mostly for people that got new puppies and then went on vacation or had to work long hours, she would keep them 3 weeks and teach them the basic obedience..

With Cash I taught him his obedience from what I learned with 2 years of training with Gypsy he only had 3 hours of obedience work with a professional trainer (for now) he starts up again soon in a class setting, but please try and find someone that can work with your hours, I noticed around here anyhow classes are starting as late as 8:30pm and on weekends..

Nobody knows what that trainer is doing to your dog while you are gone, and the purpose of me taking my dogs to a training class is so I learn how to train them and not somebody else
