The dogs were jumping around and the owners were struggling not knowing what they are doing, and the teacher is totally lost if they are even watching at all while the owners/dogs are walking around the store perimeter.
Gee, I don't know, I took Lacey 8 years ago to Petsmart(two classes) and Layla went through four. The trainer Lacey had, Lori, does obedience with her dogs and has a search and rescue dog. Layla had a different trainer for her first three classes who was nothing short of the dog whisperer and then for her 4th class had Lori. As for our local dog club classes it says on their website, one sign of dog aggression, and out you go. What the heck? So who will help me with my dog? Lori, at Petsmart did. She taught me how to better react to Layla's occasional 'outbursts'.
I believe I paid $79. eight years ago for Lacey and I paid $99. and $109. for Layla, not $200.
