Prissy can be quite a handful sometimes. I love her dearly and she is so darn cute, but lets face it, she has behavioral issues. lol I dont want everyone to think of her as a brat and most importantly, I need help for when we get to Columbia for good. (Especially because we will probably be in a stinkin apartment!) So, today we had a free consultation with Man's Best Friend to see what kind of dog obedience training they offer and if it would help my Basset baby. :)
The lady we met with was very nice and her family actually owned MBF! The Obedience Training and Behavioral Problem Solving focuses on teaching basic obedience commands: sit, stay, down, heel and come. They also address behavioral problems such as housebreaking, chewing, barking, jumping and running out open doors. It is a 2 week boarding where they will build communication skills and teach her right from wrong. After that they will train me and then we will have 4 more follow-up days to make sure everything is going well with her training.
The price for this training is steep but well worth it if we can get her to listen better, not have accidents in the house, no more jumping on everyone as they come through the gate, and quit that loud, obnoxious barking. Oh, not to mention.....wait for it......they are offering a 50% military discount right now! WOOHOO! So, now its time to discuss this with John and hopefully get her into training! :) I cant believe my dog might be able to go for a walk without a leash! Lets hope they can work miracles like the reviews say!
