We have taken one of our LGDs (Anatolian) here for training twice. She has a higher than normal prey drive for an LGD and we really needed her to be able to focus as we have a large farm with other dogs and animals. Her first training was for basic commands. And she came back to us with immediate response to all commands except "leave it" (she was only a year old and we were not expecting to have her prey drive corrected completely). So she went s second time closer to 2 years of age when she needed to really sharpen her focus and learn to leave the other animals alone on the farm. She came back a whole new dog! She no longer lunges for the chickens and ducks and when a chicken got into her area, she merely just picked it up and immediately dropped it when we saw her with the chicken and gave her the command to leave it. Highly impressed with the training here. Would highly recommend!!!
