Can anyone tell me any advantages of takeing a dog to a trainer drop him off in the morning and pick him up at night. What do they do? how it is done? and when you get him how the relationship is with a dog trained like that? We have someone in our area that does this and I would like to know any advantages or disadvantiges for this type of training

We have someone in our area that does this and I would like to know any advantages or disadvantiges for this type of training I see no advantage in this at all. The disadvantages are numerous. You dont get to understand the theory behind the training. You build no relationship with the dog. If there is a problem you wont have a clue as to how to fix it (or would you even recognize the problem in the first place?). If someone does not want to take the time to go to training with the dog, then they should not be handling the dog.

You still have to have the same commitment to training the dog. There is no magic or secret words in dog training and it all comes down to your commitment. A trainer can train your dog and it be well trained for him but still be the same old dog for you because it all comes down to the relationship you have with the dog. Everything the trainer does with your dog, you have to do with your dog too, to establish yourself with the dog.
Stop making excuses for your dog and start training it!
Thank you for replying to this I felt all along when I first talked to theis trainer I did not want to do this for the very same reasons both of you stated. I am glad I felt the same. Now maybe someone can tell me why an advertized dog training school would not want to train with you and the dog just curious
Yes, an explanation from the source would be interesting.
I suppose it's much easier for them to train dogs rather than people. They probably have no secret to keep, like the discovery of the century in the field. They will probably tell you once in the end which the commands are, and show your dog's performance and maybe ask you to do it, just for example.
Then you go home and your dog does it when he feels like it. And you have to remember the commands, the voice, the gesture for each one and start it all over again. Your money and your time gone. In the worst case, you would have to repair something (say your dog becomes affraid of big noise or obstacles after this training) and this would be really difficult.
Me, I can understand this kind of training, for example, for people with handicap who cannot make this effort and need a trained dog. But I cannot agree with it for a healthy mature person who wants her/his dog trained in basic obedience.
What kind of training are we talking about? Ob. or protection. If it's protection be very careful. A lot who use the table training method work this way. They don't want you to see the abuse they are about to unleash on your dog... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
WHEN I SEE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, I'D BE WILLING TO DIE PROTECTING IT.
I'm a bit late to this, but since no one else has pointed this out, I will: I found that, as a neophyte, dog training was as much about training me as it was about training the dog. My trainer spent a lot of time teaching me how to read the dog.
So I'd agree with the others here: this kind of training is not likely to be useful.
