Dog training should not be controversial. I get it, we are working with a member of your family and that is very important. A quick aside, did you know that we get calls 24 hours a day asking how their little dog Max is doing in Camp. Dog owners tend to worry more about their K9 buddies than they do about their own kids when they are away at summer camp. That is controversial isn't it? But it is true.
