The lectures at the kitchen table about socializing and training always fall on deaf ears it seems, as well as end up low on the priority list with everyone's busy schedules. I have had quite a few people send me the receipt for classes and have heard back from VERY few people about temperament issues. This had been my biggest issue with puppy buyers for years, until I started this. You get the phone call about how the dog is aggressive or shy at about 1 yr or so. Then you ask what training/socializing they've done with their puppy and it's ALWAYS the same crap! We were too busy to take him to class. Too frustrating!! Gina **************One site has it all.
