We've considered this route. We had Bullmastiffs for 25 years and they are pretty easy to train and very smart. Almost effortless. The most recent fella in our house is a rescue from Texas. He's like a cross between a Coyote and a Whippet and he's pretty anxious. It's, well, a completely different breed. Professional training might help him.

Years ago we tried a training program where they took the dog for a week or two. Years later we also paid someone to work with us. That was much better as it's really the human that needs to be trained not the dog.
