Dog Trainer Recommendations? Hey guys, so this past weekend I got a puppy (8 week old Australian Shepherd). I was looking online around Charlotte for dog training programs and it seems like almost every one I could find was at least $2,000+ which was more than I'd ideally like to spend. Does anyone have any experience with a trainer they used or maybe a program they know of that is more affordable?
Thank you!

I’ve used Upstate Dog training in Blue Ridge, SC it’s a lil drive but more than worth it. We’ve used them for in kennel training for our dogs since the early 90’s. Drop off Sunday evening pick up Friday with one on training then back again on Sunday for three weeks. I believe they’ve gone up to somewhere around $700. http://www.upstatedogtraining.com/
Affordable dog training? I need some recommendations for a good trainer as it's around that time for my pup and I'd like to iron out any current issues he has. I live in northwest Charlotte but I'd be willing to travel pretty far if it's not the $4000(lol) that the dog wizard quoted me at. I was looking at places that charged less than $300 or around that price.
Thank you everyone!

Dog leash aggression training Does anyone have any experience with a Charlotte area dog trainer who can help with leash reactivity / aggression?
Right now we are enrolled in a group training club and have been making good progress. We plan to continue working through these classes, but I think it could be helpful to consult with other trainers to develop a more personalized plan.
Not looking for any of the e-collar based trainings.
Any recommendations would be appreciated

I’ve used Jill Jones with Upstate Dog Training Blue Ridge, SC it’s just past Spartanburg so maybe an hour and a half drive. It’s in kennel training and we’ve used her since the very early 90’s. http://www.upstatedogtraining.com/
Anybody have a rec for a dog trainer? Either one who takes the dog or comes to your house? Have a 9 month old yellow lab who we want primarily obedience trained, but may be interested in looking in to light hunt training as well. TIA!
