Bear is what, around four months old? Why do you think this will be good for Bear? I'm sure you posted looking for reassurance, but I never get why people feel they need to send a pup away. A pup's attention span is so short, not sure what the trainer will be doing with Bear all day. Formal training should only be a few minutes a day. I don't know anything about this trainer, he may be wonderful and really give the dogs he works with a rich and rewarding experience but why send him away?
Did you look into puppy/basic obedience classes for you to attend WITH Bear? Nothing magic that the trainer will be doing with Bear that you can't learn to do yourself with a good class and a good instructor.

That place is near me. And I looked up the link, says its all positive reinforcement. But either way, I don't understand what they can do in that amount of time that you can't learn to do? Why not take a class WITH your dog with them? Build your bond, learn how to work with your dog, instead of paying someone else to do it? Your going to miss out of 5 weeks of bonding time. I would never send my dog away to anyone for training.

ThaNks for the feedback. I think this is the best for my situation right now. I said goodbye to my boy an hour and a half ago, and i terribly miss him already!

I couldn't do it. I'd rather work hard and see my own hard work pay off... plus, can't imagine putting my boy in somebody else's hands.
I'm sure time will fly for you.
