Its been difficult trying to train my dog for the past few months and I find myself having less time to spend with her right now but that is only temporary. However, I would like to send her off to a dog school where she can spend a couple of weeks learning how to be obedient and great dog. I used to spend a great amount of time working diligent with her by reading books, watching the dog whisperer and other dog training videos and they only seemed to work a handful of times. Please let me know if you have any personal experience with sending your dog off to a training school in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA and getting great results! Thanks!

Obedience classes are for dogs AND their owners. Find some training classes and MAKE the time to go with your dog. Having someone else train her is completely pointless if you aren't there as well learning how to handle YOUR dog. "I used to spend a great amount of time working diligent with her by reading books, watching the dog whisperer and other dog training videos and they only seemed to work a handful of times. " all of that time could have been spent in obedience classes with your dog being shown how to train your dog by a LIVE person.

I owned a chow chow many years ago, they are lovely dogs but they are very hard to train. You have to be very strict with them as they are very defiant and will only do what they want. I found giving her treats when she obey me worked. I can't help you with any training schools as I am in england sorry. But you have to stick with it, even after your dog has been trained you have to keep the training up or it will just go back to doing what it wants. Good Luckx

To be honest, Obedience training school don't just cut it for me. It is better you train the dog on your own, to build a closer relationship with the dog, or you just consults a professional who GUIDES you on the dog training instead of doing it for you. I hope I could help a little!
