This is not the only training. I discovered many more and stop being such a helicopter parent doggie mama. This training was not for me it really actually made us all a little crazy
As a puppy parent I realize now not everything is black-and-white. I invested money we had a lot of trouble at the beginning in the puppy phase days. We all found Nicole‘s responses a very condescending and downright rude....To be honest some of the other members private messaged me to make me feel better
Response from How To Train A Dream DogApr 30, 2021
Karine I’m very sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the training program we offer. As you said, not all trainers are the same. My program focuses on building a relationship with your dog, which takes work and patience. You were wise to sign up for the pro level of the course, which offers you the most support possible through the private Facebook group and 3 zoom calls a week. I see you were able to ask a few questions and received responses from me and the other certified trainers on my team. It’s definitely your right not to follow the advice of the trainers and the protocols of the training course, but we don’t recommend it. We do not advise the use of an electric fence, as we discussed in your Facebook posts. Furthermore, we feel that the use of a crate is a critical piece in shaping the behavior of our puppies. We would have loved for you to take full advantage of the resources offered at the pro level, including joining us on zoom calls for more in-depth study of canine development, which could have aided you with the training of your puppy. I’m sorry to hear that you have rehomed your puppy per your email you send us. The raising of a puppy and meeting all of his needs along with the needs of other humans and animals in our household can be overwhelming, as you stated in your email to me. Not all puppies are good for all households and we commend you on your decision to do what was best for the dog. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and with the other animals in your home.
