Hello Chazers, while researching (and saving for) dog trainers my dad came to me today with his new idea. Dog Boot Camp.
He was at a friends house and their dog was sniffing him like crazy because he smells like my dog (so he says. haha.) He commented on how the dog sniffed him but was still calm. His friends told him how their dog used to be a nut and their daughter's Lab (like I have) used to be as crazy as my dad explained my dog can be. They recommended their Dog Boot Camp. You drop your dog off for a week and *poof*. Magic. No, apparently you go near the end of the week to see if the pup listens to you as well as they trained him to.
I've only heard of Boot Camp once before. A radio DJ was talking about dropping her dog off and how hard it was to be seperated for so long. But, I didn't hear the show the next week to hear her results.
What do you think of these Boot Camps? My reaction was I want to be trained along with my dog. I want to know how to get him to listen to me. My dad is all excited about it. I swear, I think he's about to sign him up. And, since I live with him now (as does my dog) certain things are non-negotiable. You have to know him.
If you have experience, can you share?
