Dog Obedience School Testimonials - Alberta?
10 Mar 2010
Hi! I am looking for a dog obedience school located in Alberta. Unfortunatly there are none in our area, and i would like to find one where we can drop off the dog and pick it up again in however many weeks. This may sound uncaring, but we really just cant drive three hours for an hour obedience class!!! If anyone has heard of such a school or has used one, please let us know! Thanks so much in advance!!!
That’s not the way obedience training works. Dropping your dog off with someone is both a waste of your money and dangerous for your dog. You don’t know what they may be doing, the methods they use, and besides, your dog will never work for you if you aren’t the one training him. You need to be trained how to teach your dog.
If you really can’t find any training anywhere near you, then buy a few good books and do the training using them. "Purely Positive Training" by Sheila Booth is a good choice, or "Get Connected With Your Dog" by Brenda Aloff.

I have a 12 week old German Shepherd that i want to train.
I am located smack dab in between Lubbock, Abilene, and Midland/Odessa. I am willing to travel.
I’m not sure exactly where in West Texas you are located. But here are 3 very active AKC Obedience training clubs in West TX. All 3 offer Obedience classes at all levels & Agility too. I show at their Agility trials 2x a year. Lots of nice folks. Check out their websites from the links below. Hope one of them is fairly close for you.
Midland, TX— Permian Basin Obedience Training Club: http://www.pbotc.com/
Lubbock, TX—South Plains Obedience Training Club: http://www.spotc.org/links.html
Amarillo, TX—Amarillo Obedience Training Club: http://www.aotcdogs.com/
If none of these is close to you Google dog training in your city or look in your yellow pages for places near you that offer training classes.
Edit: So maybe try the South Plains (Lubbock) or Permian Basin (Midland) clubs.
