| - Someone from this company noticed that my dog was pulling the heck out of arm, when I was taking her to the dog park at Sunset Park and gave me info on this service. I inquired about it- the cost was $700 for lifetime lessons and $250 for the shock collar (it sounds mean, but some dogs need this and my dog needed it; remember, she was a bit like Marley). I'm sure the prices have gone up since then, this was about 6.5 years ago. I also had to get a retractable leash at Petsmart for about $24 (different prices for different size dogs). My first visit was observing the class in action, which impressed me, BTW- at the time, classes were held at about ten different parks all over Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson. Now, I think that you have to go to the facility (the option to get back into the classes is still there for me and my dog). Anyway, you weren't limited to the amount of classes or to the locations (it was wide open)- that was a big plus, for me. I took her regularly every week, for the first couple years- you got to know the dogs and which ones were still aggressive (even with training, like the mastiff and the sharpei). The distractions at Sunset Park were a little challenging (the birds- she almost jumped in the lake, and she hates water!). And my dog was always the food-motivated one in the group- yeah, it was embarrassing, and funny at the same time. The shock collar worked really well, until it broke, so we stopped going. But I really did believe in the training with this company- some commands stuck, some didn't.
