E-collar training is essential for off-leash ability. It is also a non-emotional correction, which won't deteriorate the relationship you have built.

A major benefit of having your pup with us for 2-3 weeks is the ability to ingrain behavior change. It takes 21 days to create new habits and by working with the dogs day in and day out we see powerful transformations. Many clients say, " I can't believe this is the same dog" at drop off. It is also good for anxiety and socialization, which is harder to address during private lessons in your home.
