The place looks very nice.

Don't know anything about their training, but they have some of the best looking GSD's I've ever seen.

So far progress is good. Before we left Assertive they said the girls would test the limits when they got home and they have. The difference is now we are learning the proper way to handle them and are seeing good results.

I'm going through the same thing. At the trainers (i still go 3x a week), Tessa is an angel. At home if I am not properly handling her, she tends to test me. It's funny, I think I am the one who needs the training now, because as soon as I am handling her correctly, she responds wonderfully. At the trainers, i get corrected 10X more then Tessa does.

I hear you, I know it's mostly us and now have the right people to help. The trainers at Assertive were very clear and had no problem showing us how to do things right. We can call for advice and if we miss them leave a message and they call back. When they don't answer the phone it's usually beacuse they are with clients and/or their dogs. We can also go back down for hands on instruction as well, which we are going to do. it's a 300 mile round trip so it wont be 3x a week. Our biggest problem is US following the rules not the girls. When they see us make a mistake that's when they try to get away with something.

Ok, Back from first group session and it went well. We were able to see some issues that they showed us how to address. Once training was done the dogs were allowed to have a group play time. No leashes or humans in the fenced area. It was amazing watching the other dogs and ours socialize. They did however keep the larger dogs and the younger puppies separated. So far very pleased with Assertive.
