Re: royvon dog training school!!

There are a lot of newbies posting on this thread, call me cynical, but it this some sort of advertising by Royvon?!? If not I apologise profusely and welcome newbies

Personally for me, dogs react to training given by their owners, and through training owners learn new behaviours too. It is a two way thing. How many times do we hear trainers say that they are training the humans, not the dog?!!
I feel uncomfortable about taking a dog from its familiar environment and family, then expect it to perform new tricks. I would be concerned about an unstable dog forming negative associations with certain commands because of the strange nature in which they have been taught.
I would also worry about the very short one or two hour hand-over time where the owner is expected to grasp a whole new concept of maintaining training -because training is an ongoing committment, in just the same way that education is life-long.

Hope I haven't upset anyone, this just isn't my bag
