I definitely agree.. I REALLY want my parents to go to training as well. It's very difficult to train Sadie when they have a bad habit of undoing any good I've done. >_< We wanted her to like her kennel as a safe place, but then they'll force her into it when they're upset at her and so she becomes afraid of it. She finally trusts it again, but who knows for how long if they do it again.
She's with me most of the day, only when I'm out for dinner or something she's left with the rest of the family, but she is so needy I do think she just needs more contact with people.
