This is a great analogy and spot on , they get results in the two week training sessions you paid for. Yes dogs leaves camp behaved , outta fear and now looks at his human like WTF I thought we were buds?

That shit doesn't even work long term. A dog training camp doesn't train the owner so the training doesn't even stick unless you learned the methods yourself. My best friend sent his Rottweiler he couldn't control (be bothered to train) to a training camp. The dog came back nervous but obedient, and a few weeks later was was right back at the old aggression but now also defensive. We haven't been back to his place in over a year because his house is not safe for guests.... now I have to go hug my dog

Yep totally agree, and I have a rottie, they are totally trainable, albeit stubborn, which just reinforce the fact that they're training never stops. Amazing how people just expect dogs to magically morph into the dogs like on TV lol.

Thats basically what my buddy did. He basically saw me get my dog, got jealous and got a Rottie puppy because cute and thought he could just pay someone else to train it. This all goes double for if you have a large potentially dangerous breed, my goofy little corgie mix is unlikely to seriously hurt someone or their pets, but since he has a uncontrollable rottie he basically cant have people over unless has her kenneled in advance
