It can work and it can work well. I have done it and I have prevented SPCA regulars from ending up back in the shelter yet again. The owner attends follow-up sessions to be shown how to encourage the newly-learned good behaviours. What a horrific thought, though, that some "trainers" use boarding & training as an excuse to do anything behind doors that they would not do in front of the owner.
