So every Monday my wife and Zelda go to obedience. There are three other dogs in the class. Our girl does really well and stays focused on my wife and is progressing nicely. The trainer likes to use Zelda for demonstrating lessons, but anytime she tries to takes the leash Zelda fights like crazy to get back to my wife. She loves the instructor and is friendly to the other owners, she just doesn’t want anything to do with anyone but my wife handling her. To me this seems normal, and honestly the only person besides me and the kids I want the talk taking commands from is my wife. The trainer says she is too attached and would benefit from the occasional day care or boarding when we go away as opposed to taking her with us. Does this sound right or is the trainer just embarrassed that my dog doesn’t respond to her?
