  Does anyone know of a good local dog trainer? Need some one on one done with my boy. He doesn't need obedience training done, he needs some behavioral training done.

  Hello everyone, there was a post not too long back (i think on this page) recommending a vet that specializes in anxious pets. My girl haaaates vet visits and I would like to find a confident vet to regularly go to. Any recommendations?

  Tori C. asked:

  This is Loki, who I have introduced previously in relation to lead pulling and needing stronger chew toys. Heaps of help so far, this page is brilliant, so perhaps I can get some info for a new issue? Loki had a Dane x Mastiff mum and a Rottie dad. Bad start in life, neglect, malnourished, parasites. I got him after he was rescued at about 8 weeks. My concern is his anxiety around other dogs. He had a slow start and missed a lot of positive dog-dog interaction he should have had. Gets wide eyes, ears back when interacting with any dog. Sits there licking our new puppy but still has this facial expression and I don't know what to make of it. Would like to get an in house trainers help but they are very expensive...

  

  Deborah S. replied:

  I agree with Corinne Barker. A good trainer is worth the investment and will cost less now, and is more effective now than later. As Robyn said Liz is great http://liz60.wix.com/k9-services-nz-#!about/c1 wk9 Good trainers also use Dr Elsa Flint if medical help is needed with a behavioural approach http://www.animalswithattitude.co.nz

  Stephanie L. asked:

  Anyone recommend a good bark collar? Not too pricey.. just considering trying as an additive to training! ...for moments like soccer balls, wheels & little dogs that dont like big dogs

  

  Tracey F. replied:

  I would talk to a behaviourist before using a bark collar on a puppy, Elsa flint is amazing but there are many others as well that are very good. www.animalswithattitude.co.nz

  Bree D. asked:

  As a last ditch effort to not rehome my 9mth boy I am looking for someone who can help me train him.... the property we have is fenced but when he moves to the new home it is not fenced and eventually he will be on a rural section around cattle. I don't want him to live his life on a chain or roaming. Can anyone recommend someone who is able to help out. I'm living howick/highland park area if that is of any help. Thanks

  Krystal Y. asked:

  My girl was attacked a few months ago by another dog over her ball and ever since then she won't allow any other dogs to come near me or my partner as well as her toys. she has always been food agresive towards animals and I've been told that she's resource guarding. She used to be perfect with dogs and never had a problem but now were constantly worried whenever dogs come to us as she doesn't like it. Can anyone recommend a trainer or behaviorist that could really help as we don't want to stop her going off lead and having fun...

  

  Tracey F. replied:

  Elsa Flint, she's awesome & one of the very few actual trained animal behaviourists, she will come to you so doesn't matter where you live. Her website is www.animalswithattitude.co.nz Good luck!
