Reading Sheila's in home stuff reminded me of a long ago one I will share. The folks had difficulty training this GSD themselves. They sent him to a trainer for about a month if I recall. He came back just like he was before they spent all that money. They called the trainer to please come to show them what they needed to do. Aha, Ok - punch line - the trainer had trained him in THE GERMAN LANGUAGE. Ouch. Needless to say the owners had to learn how to talk to the dog so he'd know what they wanted. Bottom line is like she says - in home training is important so the owners'll know! Have a good one and I will to since I hope I made you laugh.
