I cannot speak for NatureLady here above. I can only speak of what I have personally experienced training at the Cincinnati Canine Companion Centers for over 10 years now! I think NatureLady, at best from her experience, lasted one class? I too have trained at several other facilities before I found C.C.C.C. What I got at C.C.C.C. (and I still train all of my four dogs there too) was excellent instructions that helped me to understand how my dog thinks and behaves. Basically, domestic dogs are descendants from wolves. Creatures who have a pecking order or a structured society of their functioning pack mentality. There is a leader, then there are followers within each pack. Supplied with this knowledge, I no longer saw my dog as a human, a child, or anything other than a dog that either will follow my commands or it will command me and others by its very nature. NatureLady seems to not understand that basic principle? You either lead your dog or you will follow and accept your dogs bad behavior! It sounds to me that this is probably why she has had to go to different dog training centers. Only to find out that ""SHE"" may be her dog's problem! I was taught that there really are NO BAD DOGS, only bad dog handlers who accept their dogs unacceptable behavior as the norm. I have been in classes where dog handlers really did not know their right foot from their left. I too have personally trained dogs off and on for my friends. I can tell you personally when a human being will not listen to your instructions, it does become rather frustrating. If the human cannot understand what is needed to train the dog, then where does that leave the dog? If I gave instructions to people in how to train their dogs and they did not respond in an appropriate manner, I might lose it too! You must first learn how to take instructions before you can every teach or train. I have had nothing but the ""BEST"" instructions from all of the trainers at C.C.C.C. I highly recommend this facility!
Pros: The Best dog training instructions I have every experienced!
Cons: I have no complaints!
