I'm taking Sam, tomorrow will be her second day. I'm not sure how I feel about them, (the trainers) they seem nice enough but aren't familiar w/ Sam's breed.

Trying to find someone I could get to in a reasonable amount of time AND that I could afford was difficult. There was a member on the board (name slips my mind but he's got the Kung Fu avatar) gave me a name and number and I'm definetly impressed but she lives so far away and is rather pricy. So I thought I'd go w/ what I've got now - $45 for 4 sessions? - and if I'm not pleased I'll look into finding a way to work w/ this lady. DH will FLIP when he hears about how much $$$ it will cost, but I really really want a well behaved dog - one that will put everyone at ease and LISTEN when spoken to. Hey, everyone has their hobbies right? Make fun of me if u will (which my family goes to great lenghts to do :roll: ) but everyone else around me is getting a degree in something or just working their minds while I stay at home, in a trailer w/ four children under the age of 7. Forgive me for wanting to DO something that has some challenge in it.

PS Yes children are challenging however the results from such an endeavor are more like 20 - 30 years in the making, a dog you can see some results in a much smaller span of time IMO. Sorry for the vent, it just came out.
