We are considering some sort of obedience training for Duke. For the most part, he is pretty chill, like most DDBs. I taught him all the basics, sit, stay, leave it, no, etc. He rarely, if ever, jumps up on people and we are pretty happy, but would like to work on leash walking and some other fun stuff. He has only run off a few times when chasing a squirrel, other than this he is a strong 6 out of 10 when it comes to listening.
A few options we considered were group training by an reputable school in the area or private visits to our house by someone well known in our part of the state. An option I was not keen on was leaving your dog somewhere for two weeks and someone else trains him. My take on training is that dog needs to trust and respect me, not someone else who trains him.
Curious to hear people's thoughts/experiences on training Dogues. I know cost of living is different everywhere, but what would you consider to be a fair price to pay to have your dog trained?
Thanks!
