I hope this works out well for you as it is sooo expensive. I think that a trainer or behaviourist who could have worked with you and your family and of course the dog in his own surroundings may have been better for you but would have required a lot of hard work from you and your family which i think is why these training schools seem so appealing.I really cant see how you can solve your dogs problems when you all as a family are not also involved with the training....i hope that i am wrong and it all goes well as you obviously love your dog very much.
