Isn't it kind of sad after all that time training them and then have to send them on to someone else
Well, I do alot of private lessons. That's where I teach the owner how to train the dog so the dog is never in my possession. Once in awhile I'll take a dog for 3 weeks, train it, then return it to the owner with lessons on how to handle the dog. But yes, even only having the dog for 3 weeks, you do get attached. However, I always have our 3 dogs to comfort me
Caesar was 100% my dog. I rescued him from an abusive home when he was a year old. Then after he had all his training, the previous owners told me they wanted him back! Ha! Needless to say, they didn't get him back.
