Brittany C. asked:We've got a 9 month old German shepherd/lab cross and lately she's been quite snippy. When she's sleepy or sleeping, if you pet her she will growl and nip at you. Not hard but she shows her teeth for a second. It's bugging me because otherwise she's the sweetest dog. Why is this happening? Anyone heard of this? Thinking of taking her for obedience training if anyone knows of any reasonable classes in cgy?Tamara W. replied:She is an adolescent, and often we see behaviour changes in adolescence - just like teenagers! They also have a second fear period that can lead to some different behaviours. There are a lot of excellent trainers listed on Rex in the City http://rexinthecity.ca/

Yannick C. asked:Can anyone recommend a dog trainer for me to use. I have a rescue who I've spoiled and now I'm dealing wit the aftermath of my poor choices i.e sleeping in the bed/couch whenever she wants. I plan on getting a second dog and feel I should try to correct the behaviours I've created with my first so I don't pass it on to the second. I'm looking for a reputable trainer that does private one on one sessions. One that can help with recall, jumping on the counter to steal food and correct how rough she is with other dogs at the park. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.Tamara W. replied:Rex is an excellent resource to find a trainer. All of the trainers listed use scientifically proven, force free methods, and many offer both classes and private consultations :) http://rexinthecity.ca/

Marine A. asked:Hi everyone, we have 2 super nice huskies and 1 cat, live in central north Calgary and leaving for 1 week vacation to Mexico last week of May. Now I had booked my usual for the pups at Country Club Kennel and it's roughly $600 and now we have our cat on top (recently adopted) and Im wondering if it wouldnt be more cost efficient and comfortable to have aomeone stay at our house for the week. I have no idea what people who do that charge. Those guys need to do an off leash every day, there's one 5' away. Those of you who offer this service or know experienced people who do please comment ! (Experienced with huskies please, they're a quite specific breed to deal with)Tamara W. replied:http://rexinthecity.ca/ is a great resource to find pet professionals.

Amy B. asked:I need some help with my dog in terms of training. Can anyone recommend a good trainer that deals with reactive dogs? She lunges and barks at anything and got out of the house yesterday in the midst of a medical emergency and bit someone. Shes the sweetest thing with me and at home but turns into a demon as soon as we walk out the door. Help! I want to be able to take her places and not be mortified at my dogs behaviour.Cindy P. replied:www.rexinthecity.ca is a listing of positive dog businesses in the city. All the businesses listed are carefully screened by admin before they can be listed and will be removed if proven unethical, etc. Be careful as the wrong training approach can be hugely detrimental to reactive dogs in particular. (Btw I am listed under the trainers if you want to contact me I would be thrilled to help you, but rex has a listing so you can choose the trainer that fits you best)

Kayla S. asked:Hello dog lovers. I am looking for someone trustworthy to look after my pooch during the day. She is a 1.5 year old Australian Shepard border collie mix. She loves to run and play. She is completely kennel trained. I'm gone for 8 hours a day and want her to have somewhere to go a few days a week so she's not all cooped up. I'm open to reasonable priced businesses or dog sitters with good rates and references. Let me know! Kali is good around cats, dogs and kids (getting a picture of my cats and kali in the same picture is almost impossible) but she was raised with 2 cats and they are best friends. Car rides are her favourite. Let me know if you guys have any places/people in mindCindy P. replied:www.rexinthecity.ca is a comprehensive list of dog related businesses that use positive methods with your dogs. (Daycares, dog walkers, etc)
