We want to take Milo our almost 10 month old corgi for training. He actually is going for more of the socializing and obedience type of training than the actual training of sit, stay, and other commands. He has mastered sit, stay, come, down, roll over, and hand. We taught him all of those. It sounds a waste of him to go for those type of training when he already has.

But, as some of you have known, he has some socializing issues. He is not very dog friendly since he is afraid of other dogs. He doesn't snap or bite them. He would only bark at them.

I found ABCNY Animal Behavior Center of NY training.
They have these trainings:

3-Week "Sleep Away" Resident Basic Obedience Training Program - $1195
This program is designed for the busy family or individual that does not have time to train their dog in basic obedience commands. Your dog will spend three (3) weeks at our training center during which timw our professional trainers will work with your dog many times a day, indoors and outdoors. We can provide socialization with other people and dogs (or cats) if desired. We can also treat dogs for fears, phobias, compulsive disorders and aggression when necessary. Upon copmpletion of the training, the family returens for a full demonstration of the dog's performance and unlimited family handling lessons. A lifetime of family handling lessons is included. Free pick-ups from Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Nassau County can be arranged.

House (Elimination) Training - $150 plus Boarding Costs
House training is a term used to teach a dog not to eliminate inside the home . Paper training is a term used to teach a dog to eliminate only on paper or on absorbent pads) Litter box training is a term used to teach a dog to eliminate in a box filled with an absorbent sand-like substance. Elimination training can be begun during overnight or day care stays.

While house training takes many weeks and months to perfect and must be done in YOUR HOME for the most part, we can begin to establish correct routines and location/substrate preferences with your dog. When your dog returns hone after several weeks, you will use a plastic carrier to confine your dog when not supervised and follow the training routine and reward schedule we used at ABCNY to maintain behavior.

They are more expensive than the other training places we have looked at. Please give me some input.

Thanks in advance!!
