I just got off the phone with a local trainer. We talked for a good half hour. I have a great feeling about this one. She also owns two GSDs. One of which is a registered Therapy Dog.
The other trainer I talked to, I just didn't get a good feeling about. She came highly recommended by one of my friends, but I don't feel she is the right trainer for Trav and I.
So, this new trainer was recommended to me by my coworker. [The groomer]
I told the lady Travs problem, told her we were working towards his CGC and TDI and she gave me wonderful advice.
I'm now to take him on weekly ''field trips.''. To malls, stores, shopping centers, you name it. She even said once I start taking him on these field trips to call her and let her know our progress.
She's also agreed to meet up with me whenever my schedule is open. She even offered to meet up with me at my work.
So now I have to talk to my boss and see when I can meet up with this trainer. [The trainer knows my boss so it might help in getting her to agree to re arranging my schedule]
I'm also on the roster for a CGC/Therapy class in July.
I'm very excited and have a great feeling about this trainer.
The previous trainer I spoke to wouldn't even sign me up for the class I wanted. Even after I explained my dogs problem and what I wanted to do with him, she completely ignored what I told her and still insisted on putting him in a class full of other dogs.
This trainer is going to meet up with me and evaluate Travis and see what we need to work on before we even think of putting him in a class.
After the evaluation, we'll be working on everything he needs to know for his CGC and TDI.
I'm very excited and hope this all works out.
