We were concerned about how it would work to do virtual dog training, but it was great. It helped us to do the work with the guidance of our trainer, and kept our regular routine. It also made it easier when only one of us was able to attend. There is a layer of complication when training multiple dogs, but we worked out a way to rotate which dog attended which session that worked really well.
I've never trained dogs before, and we have two adult dogs and one puppy (just now 6 months). We weren't sure how they would respond to the change in routine. It went so much better than expected. Even our Pit mix who struggled with the crate training now goes into the crate without issue. Our Dutch Shepherd loves the structure and training, and the lab puppy has adapted very well, though she needs a little extra guidance since she's still a baby.
Walks have become much easier now. Even our two kids got involved, and I can trust my 10 year old to walk any of our dogs, when previously we struggled with them trying to drag us on walks. It was a little strange to adapt to the triangle, and not letting our dogs have the run of the house, but I can't argue with the results.
I love that we maintain access to the trainer, as well as the recorded sessions. I do feel like the program moved quickly, but we learned so much in that time. Thanks so much!
