Yes, Ron earned a scholarship and graduated from Western Metro School of dog training in 1977. All trainer/instructors working for Ron have completed 400 hours of training and graduated and received certification from our trainer/instructor program.
A trainer just trains dogs which is relatively easy. A trainer/instructor has been taught not only how to train any dog but to be able to effectively instruct others to train their dog.
There is no such thing as a fully trained dog. You need to learn these training techniques so you can apply them over the rest of your dog's life. We have good reason to believe you will be very satisfied with your accomplishments after the four weeks of private lessons.
No, dogs never perform every task perfectly but our goal is that you will know what to do when your dog makes a mistake.
If they have three legs and can walk.
Whoever is home the most and needs and wants to have the most control over their dog.
Your dog will work for whoever knows how to make it work, although some dogs have more of a pleasing temperament and will be more willing to work for others to a certain degree.
Just for our puppy pre-school program. Not for our adults six months or older.
Because we want our dogs to be dependent on you as their leader not dependent on food.
