  Marissa W. asked:

  Hello everyone. Thank you for adding me. This is Bella. She is a 2 yr old terror that we just love to bits. This girl pulls plants out of pots and eats them. Chews up anything and everything not nailed down. She is a spaz and will run into you and doesn't listen unless she feels like it at the time. She adores attention and can't sit by you unless she is touching you, somewhere, anywhere at all times. She is true to the velcro sterio type and loves cats so much she can't leave them alone. She never hurts them, just annoys them to no end. She is house broke but doesn't listen to people. She likes car rides but can't walk on a leash. This girl needs help. We are looking for a decent priced trainer that can help Bella. She wants to be good but has no respect for humans. She is sweet but no is not in her vocabulary of words she knows. Can anyone refer us to someone that can help? We are not looking for a petsmart puppy class. We need a Cesar Millan hehe Thanks!!!!

  Meranda C. asked:

  ISO trainer recommendations. Looking for someone who will allow me to pay on a session by session basis, and will come to me (Arcadia area) and work with my two pit mixes (6 months and almost 1 year). They keep escaping my yard (digging, breaking fences) and are so stubborn, won't listen to a word I say. I'd love for someone to work with me and them, teach me how to build a healthy, respectful relationship with them. I love them, but I want to be able to have fun with them, not be yelling at them all the time :(

  

  Sam B. replied:

  Thank you for the referral, Andrea Kaye Feinstein . I am a well known dog behaviorist, and can help you with this issue. I do not see this as a control issue, this is a dog that wants something, and escapes are often dogs that are either upset or bored in their yard. You can contact me at 602-708-4531 http://www.samthedogtrainer.com

  Hayley C. asked:

  Affordable puppy training/trainers? Anybody have feedback on Petsmart training? We have a 2 month old I would like to hopefully get into training after he's done with his round of shots. And possibly our 8 month old if we can afford it. Any recommendations would be amazing, they really need it!

  

  Sam B. replied:

  Andrea H. asked:

  Looking for a good dog trainer that offers a puppy class for socialization. I would also like someone who has worked with a Leonberger before, but that will be hard to find, I'm sure.

  

  Sam B. replied:

  Rare breed. I saw my first one in 2001, in a rare breed dog show I held and ran in Olympia, WA. Very cool breed, but you don't see them much. Dogs don't get socialized in classes. I have a recommended plan, however. My phone is 602.708.4531

  Nikki B. asked:

  Need some advice - I have a foster puppy who is great, she's potty trained and crate trained but has a couple issues that I don't know what to do with. First, she pulls a lot when being walked, we tried a gentle leader but she rubs it with her paws so much she makes herself bleed. What is the best type of collar to use? Second, she bites a lot when she's playing and doesn't know when to stop. I have been told to give her a toy but she isn't interested that. I have bruises all over my arms from it, when I try to stop her when she's biting she thinks it's a game and bites me more. Any suggestions? She stops when my boyfriend says no but with me she does not listen. Are there any trainers that could help us work with her? Thanks! Nikki

  Natalie W. asked:

  Does anyone know a reasonably priced trainer/behavior person. I love my dog and he's great with the family but absolutely goes crazy and looks like he will kill anyone else that comes over. I would love to have him so that he could have a dog sitter, or even jus be able to have someone over without him trying to break down my glass door

  Ashley D. asked:

  Looking for a DOG TRAINER! Our family dog we rescued when he was a little baby just started acting up. He is very skidish and just recently he tried attacking my sisters 16 year old friend. We don't know why he is starting to act this way. He's great with so many people it's just only certain people he acts aggressive towards and it can be people he doesn't even know. He does greats with kids and wonderful with my one year old. He gets along with cats and dogs. It's just been scary lately that he tried to attack a young girl. He is part German Shepard and we're assuming the dad was chow. He is 3. We really need help to get him better. My mom would never take him to a pound but God forbid he bit someone it would be out of our hands. Thanks in advance!

  

  Sam B. replied:

  OK, just sent her a message. Let her know because Facebook will park it in her "Other" folder. If she can't find it, have her call me at 602-708-4531
