DS: Why dog training classes rarely address behavior issues beyond puppy/beginning classes?

Posted: February 9th, 2011 | Author: admin | Filed under: Common Questions | Tags: , , , , , , , | 1 Comment »

I was just thinking and pondering that all the dog training classes I’ve seen no longer address behavioral issues pass beginning. Or do yours?

Is there a reason why most dog training places don’t address correcting behavioral issues in classes pass beginning classes? Since behavioral issues will most likely also come up pass puppy months and/or a 8 week beginning course, why wouldn’t they also address them in those classes? It’s weird to me, because I would think they would continue to.

Given, intermediate and advance classes need a lot time to teach new cues/proof old ones but I think behavioral issues should also be addressed. I don’t know. Any opinions or experiences?

    i think the trainers kinda rely on the questions coming from the students.
    if they don’t have any problems and they are not asked to solve a question,
    they don’t go there.
    my trainers always asked if someone has problems and/or questions.
    i have dealt with 4 different trainers.
    they adressed jumping, nipping and housebreaking.
