Anyone got recommendations for dog training in the North DFW area? We got the kiddos a soft-coated wheaten terrier puppy, and I want to get him trained up.
I googled up about a half dozen spots, but just want some first hand knowledge if possible. Also, how much does it cost? None of the websites are very forthcoming with pricing.

Owners need to be trained as well. Don't use one of those drop them off and pick them up 2 weeks later businesses. The dog has to respect it's owner, and it's owner needs to know how to communicate with the dog.

Do they do a 2 week training class for the wife and kids? I could really get some stuff done around the house if I could drop them off...

The dog has to respect it's owner, and it's owner needs to know how to communicate with the dog. Correct. There is plenty of good material out there on dog training. Honestly for the good of you and the dog I would suggest taking it on yourself. If you have a little discipline and a little bit of experience with dogs it's not difficult to train them up to the basics. That said I've heard good things about PetSmart's programs as well. I wish you luck and congratulations on your new dog!!
