My Vizsla was too young to start training there and they let me know I should wait. The labs that were training while I was there looked amazing and well trained. We waited until he was older to enroll him at 7 months.
Unfortunately my dog was only there a month due to my concerns for his health. He lost 6 pounds and had lesions on his feet from too much kennel time. He weighed 45 when we dropped him off. He could fetch when I dropped him off, but a month later his fetch was gone.
I called every week to check on him and all they ever said was he was doing fine. 1st visit after two weeks his eyes were nearly swollen shut, 3 week visit and he was noticeably skinnier. The final 4 week visit he looked awful, his teeth were stained brown with something packed in his gums, and his breath smelled like death. I took him home and he is doing great and putting weight back on.
Here are the before and after pics...
