Hey Michael, there's a good thread on shaping currently in the basic obedience forum. Maybe its time to take a break from flexing your credentials and talk about some fun training.
its a doggie day care, do they have those where you live. Instead of leaving your dog at home all day they bring them here to run around, socilise, play bark, whatever, beats being in a crate all day, there in a safe enviornment, and have fun, its pretty cool actually people love it., its not a camp, we do have boarding and grooming and the boarding dogs are out all day with the daycare dogs. Whats wrong with that???

You advertise on your web site that you specialize in personal protection training. What kind of titles have you done with your dogs? With your clients' dogs? Where did you get your training for personal protection?
When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.
Michael, you've illustrated over and over again, that you are a proponant of the "touchy-feely", let the dogs run together in a pack, school of thought.
So, it's not a suprise that you run a day care where the dogs run in a pack together.

Well, for starters?
There is no consistency in "doggy day care"
There is no consistent pack structure with "unknown" dogs.
This may be a fantastic way to capitalize on the market for pampering dogs, but that doesn't make it right. This is not a service for the dogs, it's a service for the clients. It gives the impression that this is what dogs WANT.
A dog that is stable does MUCH better in the crate, at home, waiting for it's OWNERS not running around in a dog pack. By the time it's time to come home, you are basically kidnapping the dog from it's new family - which is the pack it's been running around with.
You are basically setting your dog up to have a bad experience, and the owner will have NO idea what happened, how it happened, or why their dog is just all of the sudden acting afraid.
I find it funny that someone who advertises PP work will also advocate doggy day care, and not crating/kenneling during the day.
