Mr. Cabral, Alin, Bill, Riggan: thank you all for your time and insight. I am going to have a serious talk with the trainer next week and serious review myself of the situation this weekend.

My fault for not making better background steps before starting this process. I started this process in need of a dog for vision problems with my left eye (right eye is ok) and for PTSD. I saw getting a dog would take years and this trainer said it could be done his/her way with a Mal that was low drive in a shorter time frame. This was before I knew how the actual training would be done not by the trainer but by the apprentice and since learning a great deal from Robert Cabral.

I see the dog and trainer a few times a month for short periods and recently understood fully now how the training was being done by the apprentice for the hands on portions and outside the home.

To clarify, the dog has been taken out a few times a week for socialization at malls and stores. Her interaction with other dogs is with the other 5 Mals in the home and 2 giant poodles. Also, the dog is a lower drive dog then her sibling who is also at the home.

Thank you all again.
