Does anyone get anything out of these classes?
We had an awful second class yesterday.
My pup who just adores playing with other dogs was being held by the trainer while she also held her own dog and I was asked to recall through a corridor of dogs...my dog couldn't even get past the distraction of the trainer's dog never mind getting focussed enough to make his way past all the other pups to find me.
So she suggests my dog isn't motivated by food and I disagree - it's just that being surrounded by 7 dogs is too exciting nothing can compete, he needs baby steps....so I've paid for block session with a trainer who really doesn't have any good ideas and I think I will need to abandon the classes as they are just setting my dog up to fail.
Good job I listened to the good people of MN and bought Total Recall(which suggests using play with other dogs as the reward for recall) that and Kikopup will have to suffice.
