Lorie, he will be in good hands. He'll come back and be all excited to see you just the same, he's not going to be indifferent to you. Gavin is a happy, resilient dog. I am in the "will never send a dog away" category but I am familiar with your circumstances and I will say that if anything ever happened to me where I could not train my dogs to their potential I would probably sell them which not really any different - it's recognizing when you are at your limit and doing what you know is best for your dog. Whether that is sending a dog away temporarily or selling/rehoming it depends on the circumstance of the individual but the intent is the same.
