Its been difficult trying to train my dog for the past few months and I find myself having less time to spend with her right now but that is only temporary. However, I would like to send her off to a dog school where she can spend a couple of weeks learning how to be obedient and great dog. I used to spend a great amount of time working diligent with her by reading books, watching the dog whisperer and other dog training videos and they only seemed to work a handful of times. Please let me know if you have any personal experience with sending your dog off to a training school in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA and getting great results! Thanks!
Obedience classes are for dogs AND their owners. Find some training classes and MAKE the time to go with your dog. Having someone else train her is completely pointless if you aren’t there as well learning how to handle YOUR dog.
"I used to spend a great amount of time working diligent with her by reading books, watching the dog whisperer and other dog training videos and they only seemed to work a handful of times." all of that time could have been spent in obedience classes with your dog being shown how to train your dog by a LIVE person.

i want to adopt from the greater nashua humane society, but roughly, what would be the average price overall to adopt a young kitten? (please include all expenses)
thank you!
To adopt a Kitten from the human society..your looking at around $200. Thats for the adoption, spay or neuter (which should be discounted or free), Initial shots and exam from your Veterinarian, and any flea and tick prevention you may use. Another cost maybe registering with your county if they require cats to be registered.
