I realized a few weeks ago that Remi isn't agressive towards dogs but quite terrified, so after looking around for some time I found a facility that looked good. We went today for a consultation. The women who interviewed us was very nice. She interactive with Remi. After telling her what we wanted help with she brought out a squeaky toy to see how he reactive to loud sudden noises. He was fine, Then she made a noise similar to the squeak and moved closer to him from the bench she was sitting on. It's hard to explain but she had to make sudden noises and movements. He was terrified, she said, after calming him, She said that he was terrified of other dogs because of his lack of self- esteem. She recommended obedience training course to help his build his confidence. Its a 6 week course, and $495.
I asked about their methods of training. She said positive reinforcement, but that they do use correction collar.
I'm curious about your guys opinion about them because I don't want any negative experiences for him during training. Does it look like a good place or should I keep looking?
