I purchased a 6-class bundle on recommendation of a local vet. Didn't realize there was such drastically different styles of training. No offense to this business but I do not agree with their training methods at all. I attended first class and trainer stated she couldn't bring her dog to use as demo because it bit a human and failed the CGC test. In a class of 4, 1 person had been there 2 times and another 3, both claiming dogs were not listening to training. I told owner before attending classes i was teaching my dog NO and using a prong collar and she stated only that I had to use a martingale or flat collar for her class. I found out in first class that they dont want you to teach your dog no, its positive only training, and when i asked them about correcting jumping and counter surfing i was told to turn my back and ignore it. This is not possible when you have an older visitor come to your house to tell them to turn around and let the dog jump and push them down and injure them. After finding out that their philosophy didn't align with how i wanted to train my dog I offered to pay $80 for a one hour consult if the owner would refund the balance of the $190 class fee. She refused stating zero refunds. She could have told me prior to letting me attend the first class that our views would not align. I was extremely descriptive in my email prior to attending what I expected. I should have done my homework, but she could have been a decent business owner and simply allowed me a partial refund due to the differences. Would you pay $190 for a dog training class that the trainer says her own personal dog bites humans?
