Here in Italy it depends.

Most of the dogs do not receive the basic education. And when I say MOST, I mean MOST.

I started when Spettro was 4 months old. It was not easy to find the right person, the first I was at did not convince me and I did not trust him... when I found our present trainer, I was very happy.

Anyway, even if I did not have a trainer, I started teaching him little exercise and I socialised him a lot. So when we started, we weren't completely at zero.

I can assure you that dog owners that go to training are an exception.. Sadly.
