Good to know

Every program here is residential except the single private lesson, so the decision you are making is whether your dog leaves home for two to four weeks. Owner handover is built in – the basic program "Includes one private lesson with owner" and the advanced program "Includes two private lesson with owner". The advanced program is explicitly e-collar based and the site says it "Includes E-collar"; if you do not want an e-collar used, the basic program is the one to ask about. They also invite custom work: "If you do not find a Training program that fits your need, contact us. Tell us what your issues are and what you would like to accomplish."
