This is one of the reasons why I don't recommend board and train. I have read too many articles about dogs being neglected, abused and dying in their care. Please find a good trainer that will work with both you and your canine partner.

Let's talk about the importance of Generalization in training.
This really hit home with a recent training session.
I have worked on "downs" with Purple Reign since he was a little pup. I can do downs from across the room, in the yard, at agility.
I started working on Rally Obedience training with him and low and behold he struggled with down when performing it at my side!
In 2 years I never had him sit beside me and do his downs! This was a real struggle.
We will be working on this.

What have you thought you canine companion knew but struggled with in a different setting, right beside you or at a distance?

Rescue/ shelter dogs.
Life in a shelter is hard on dogs. A dog was adopted after being in a shelter for over 130 days. He was in his new home for a week and was brought back to the shelter.
They decided they didn't have enough time for him.
Please I plead with people don't get a dog if you have not done all the research. The breed, the amount of training, grooming, the amount of food and the cost of vet care.
It is not fair to the dogs to go into a home only to be brought right back.
