We’ve been raising our dog for protection work and following Raising a Working Puppy. When we go on vacation next month, I doubt our dog sitter will keep our dogs from playing together & I doubt she’ll just feed him and not interact with him. Will this undo all our hard work?

We have a 5 month old Doberman, and a 6 year old Doberman. Both are house dogs, but we're also raising the puppy for protection work. Our breeder made us aware of your website, and I must say, it is wonderful!! I've had many dogs, and felt I knew how to train them. But your system of marker training is incredible! It has opened my eyes. Thank you for such a complete and thorough training system and website.

We're following your DVD on raising a working puppy, and incorporating the advice you gave on raising a working puppy that is also a family pet. Our concern is that we go on vacation next month, and one of the ladies who works at our vet's office will be keeping the dogs at her home for the week we're gone. She's kept our dogs before, but not this puppy. I doubt she can keep the dogs from playing together, and I doubt she will simply feed the puppy and not interact with him. Will this week of play and fun for the puppy un-do all my hard work with him so far?

Thanks for answering.
