Dog Training Collars

• It depends on the individual who is teaching the class. Some are great, some ok. I also would worry about the spread of disease. Is your training area the same area that the shelter dogs are trained and spend time, have there been any outbreaks of diseases lately? Usually the methodology used at the SPCA is very good, but teachers vary on how good they are...sit it on a class and evaluate it yourself.


• Yes, training is a good idea. SPCA? Well, you gotta start somewhere. First place I went was Mans Best Friend. That was another life ago, but it's where I started.


• Training your dog is very fun. Im thinking that if you go to the aspca it will cost money. But its a lot of fun to teach them yourself you just have to have a lot of patience.


• some vets offer free training classes. they teach you the basics... and then all you need to do is practise with your dog every day.
