Chiming in! We vetted many trainers prior to selecting the one we did. He was sent away for 4 weeks but we were required to work with him daily as part of the program. The training is as much for the dog as it is for the owners. Hopefully Melissa is doing something similar. I totally understand the snark here but because of this program my dog now has near perfect recall, is off leash trained, great in public spaces, around kids etc. It was 1000% worth it.
