2 week boarding with a trainer. I have a few questions for the forum.

[Doberman Gang]

sorry way off topic, but had to point out, I click @Doberman Gang s name to see where you're from, if it's (probably) top far away for me (it is) and noticed you joined on my anniversary! exact! June 20, 2010 was the day we started dating! haha, sorry, I'm sure you probably didn't even know that was the day you joined, but that's a sign to me haha!! how far is MO from PA?

A long way 12-15 hours my guess

 

[Drogon]

We did a 'day training' for a week when I first got Drogon. I'd drop him off in the AM and pick him back up in the PM. It did wonders for him. Before the training he was fearful of some things - like automatic doors and large crowds of people. In just a few days of day training, he was over all of that. It was a tremendous confidence boost for him. He walked through the doors of Pet Smart and then walked around like he owned the place.

I met the trainer yesterday with Vader. She was very impressive. She's not going to be using an e-collar, that would be an option further down the road. I'm pretty excited for him to be doing this instead of sitting in a cage all day at a kennel. Plus he'll be getting to socialize with her Mals while he's there.

That's awesome that you got the details and feel comfortable with her! I wish Jax had more opportunities to socialize with dogs, but it is what it is...few owners around here meet my criteria!
