I was referred to Pro Canine from a gentleman that had a service dog in Rural King and he stated that Pro Canine hadn't trained his dog but said that this was the place to get training for my 8 week old German Shepherd which I assume he knew the owner personally. Went to Pro Canine and paid my 175 dollars for 5 sessions and the first thing he asked was "Is this gonna be a family dog or protection dog?' I stated "Both!"......He said "That's impossible you can't have both!!" He then proceeds to tell me I need to leave her locked in the kennel continuously and only let her out on a leash to go to the bathroom and then lock her back in. Every dog I've had in my life has always been a loving family member and were all treated as such and what kind of life would my new dog have locked in a kennel continuously so needless to say I did not agree with this training technique. The rest of the first session was to show me some Command exercises. Was looking forward to the second session due to the progress I had with my pup from the training I had done through the week with her. Had a question about how do keep her from playing too rough with our 3 year old terrier and was told I had to keep them separated all the time so instead of an answer to fix the issue his answer was to keep them separated which is an impossible feat being in an apartment and am I supposed to keep them separated forever? When I said that was impossible and didn't agree with that the answer I received was to keep a leash on her the entire time even in the house. I thought that answer was hard to carry out also. I then went through the drills me and my pup had worked on and was told I was doing them all wrong even though that's how I was told to do it at the first training session. He demonstrated again and contradicted himself numerous times and I left the second session more confused than when I got there and that's when I decided to look elsewhere. This is the experience I had with doing business with Pro Canine....take from it what you will.
