Our daughter took her 1.5 year old dog to this facility for boarding along with training. She had to leave her dog for two weeks for the training at a cost of $500.00. She bragged to us about the method the owner used and said it was going to do wonders for her rambunctious dog.
We went to visit her this weekend and we were shocked at how changed her dog was. Prior to training she was the a usual young dog, bouncing around and having the time of her life. She knew basic commands such as come here, sit and where to sleep in the house at night; but our daughter wanted her dog to be ""perfect"" in discipline. What she got back from this facility was a ZOMBIE!! Her dog acts as though she had a lobotomy done and she shows absolutely no emotion. She doesn't play, run or engage in any fun behavior at all. She would just lay on the floor of the living room or out in the backyard the whole time. I tried to get her to fetch a chew toy (something she loved to do before) and I couldn't get her to move.
Keep in mind this is a 1.5 year old dog and she acts like she is 15 years old now. What a shame and a scary thought about the ""supposed"" training she had to endure.
I WOULD USE GREAT CAUTION PRIOR TO SENDING YOUR DOG TO THIS FACILITY!!
Pros: What pros?
