Dog trainer recommendation? I found one post on this subject but it was four years old. Our dog is, for lack of a better term, leash agitated. He is fine around other dogs off leash but on leash he barks, growls and lurches at them. We have tried a few interventions but nothing seems to work. He is a great dog other than this behavior. Any recommendations in the Milwaukee area are appreciated. Thanks!

My wife and I recently got a puppy and are interested in bringing him to some sort of obedience school. He's currently about 18 weeks old. Any recommendations?
