k9 Training Academy Let the buyer beware Parkland Florida
Our two year old dog is a large breed. He was unruley and with children, we were concerned aboout his lack of obediance and the kids inability to control him. So out of desperation, we reluctantly signed him up for Rick Lherisson's 30 day advanced obediance program. We have mixed emotions about the experience and feel the need to share it here.
First, let me say that in the end, we got the obediant dog we hoped for. He is well trained, responds to commands and is completely controllable. However!
During the training, we missed our dog and wanted to visit to check on his well being. K9 discourages this, won't let you on the property without an appointment and charges $100 for for each visit.
As the 30 day term approached, we were anxious to get our dog back and were disappointed to hear that his training was not yet complete, and Rick needed more time, at additional cost. We begrudgingly agreed to another week and paid the additional fee. Then as pickup time approached we got the same story again with more excuses. "we just need a little more time" (and money). And so it went. The days turned into weeks and weeks to months.
All in all, Rick kept our pet over two months before he was reurned to us. The final cost, tripple the initial price.
The take away. Watch out. Once they have your dog, you don't want to give up without the obediance you thought you paid for, so they can nickel and dime you until it adds up to thousands of $$$ and there is nothing you can do. Despite Rick's verbal assurances, his contact says time frames are estimates there in no guarantee that the animal will be trained sucessfully in the timeframe you expect.
