[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I knew someone who did this with a puppy, and it was a total failure because the family didn’t know how to reinforce the training. [/b]Have a trainer come to your house and show you how. There is no shortcut on this. Most folks who send dogs away for training are hunters and the dogs are much older. [/quote] This. My family has raised dogs for many years and trained them (for agility competitions, it's a hobby of theirs). You cannot substitute training at home when it comes to basic skills and obedience, and the people the dog lives with have to be able to reinforce. The dogs that are sent away for trainng are, as you pointed out, specialized hunters, sled dogs, search-and-rescue dogs, etc. for advanced skills in their sport/craft but they are older and they were usually trained AT HOME from puppyhood in obedience and the basics of their craft.
