Has anyone ever sent their bully to obedience school? If so what was the cost, how long did they stay, and how did it turn out? Are they we'll trained now?
yes, we did many training classes and sent Banks away to 'boot camp' for a week. She is a very dominate, strong willed girl and has been since the day we got her at 11 weeks old. She will be 9 yrs old this week and training is ALWAYS being reinforced and continued cause if she knows we are off our game, she takes the opening.
costs will depend on your area ... My guess is Petsmart/Petco standard classes, I believe run about $150 for an 8 week course. Private trainers vary based on need and how/where the training takes place.
when we did all of Banks training 9 yrs ago... The week at boot camp was $500 which included follow up sessions at our home for as long as we needed them.
The big factor with training is YOU and the level of commitment and consistency you apply ... Just because your puppy receives the training, if it is not reinforced and all humans in the home are on the same page... The pup will push the envelope and grab the openings .
My girl Pork Chop just completed Canine Good Citizen Course. She left not the same dog when she first started. She improved so much. She was two points away from being certified.
The cost was $200 for eight weeks each class was 2 hours .
