Training & BehaviorI had already asked them. I just wanted to compare to make sure I am paying for good training. As it was 1000 dollars
What people consider "good training" will vary a lot depending on what you want your dog to do, so there isn't really a universal answer to this.
If you want an example of what I consider important basic skills for most pet dogs, I would say the following:
- attention on cue (meaning that your dog will reliably look at you when you call their name)
- basic obedience skills - sit, down, stay, and come
- polite leash walking
- comfortable with basic handling and grooming such as brushing, nail trimming, etc.
- comfortable working around other dogs and people without being anxious or aggressive
- comfortable riding in the car
Beyond that, it really depends on what you're planning to do with your dog. I hope that helps! :)
