re: Dog Trainer: Who should I use?

Duck, not enough other birds around here.

Best way I learned to make one stay until commanded is dont let them eat until you tell them too. make them sit. Put food out. Wait for a while then tell them to eat. They will pick it up very quickly.

This is the best by far. I've done this with all my dogs for 15 years now.

I can "train" my dogs, but I don't have the skills or resources to do it as good as I expect it so I prefer to send them off. I can reinforce and bring my dog along once they have the basics.

Sounds like none of you would send your dogs off???
