If this were a medical problem, would you spend $350 to help save your dog's life?
Of course I would, how absurd to even ask that. I also wouldn't hesitate to spend $350 for a series of training sessions.
What I said was that there was no way on this earth I could afford to pay $350 per HOUR for training. Let's assume the dog has a serious behavior problem (obviously, or the owner's wouldn't be at this point), and it take ten hours to correct the problem. That's $3,500 ... don't know about you, but I don't have $3,500 laying around.
Not everyone can afford $350 per hour for dog training. If you can, hey, that's great. But I personally feel that if a pet owner cannot possibly manage to pay $350 per hour for training or $350 per chemotherapy treatment or whatever the case may be, that this does not necessarily make them a rotten person. It makes them an average, working-class citizen trying to make ends meet.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
