  Need help for a dog I need some advice for a dog in trouble. She is a good girl who has had a bad deal. She is a Belgian shepherd who has fear aggression, she weighs 90 lb. She got attacked when she was young dog by another dog and it was never corrected Unfortunatley the fear and fear of people and dogs is into her by her previous owne. She is scared of any and everything. She is a very sweet girl and I think can be comfortable around d other dogs and people with training. Can anyone recommend a dog trainer in Calgary that specializes is fear aggression?

  Danielle at [Western Canine Academy ](https://www.westerncanineacademy.ca/) did wonders with our rescue. He was a 3 time loser when we got him. We worked with a few trainers and she did the best with him. We did end up medicating the dog for adhd /anxiety as he struggled with being overwhelmed / overstimulated but we got lots of other behaviours under control with her prior to medicating.

  Good trainer for reactive dog? Hi all, I am looking for recommendations on a good force free dog trainer who works with reactive dogs. My dog although has come very far from her unknown past, is still struggling with on leash reactivity which we assume is due to fear. She is great off leash and has some best doggie friends around our neighbourhood. We would like to find a private trainer to specifically work with us on some things. Group classes may work too but my schedule is quite hectic. Places close to the NW would be great. Any recs? Please and thank you

  I'm looking for feedback on introductory nosework and flyball classes in the area. I'm located in the SE but am willing to travel as far north as Airdrie and down to Okotoks for an awesome place! My dogs have no experience in either sport. I have looked at a few places and have some ideas but I wanted to see if anyone had any reviews/advice on spectacular places! Thanks!

  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.

  

  Malinda B. replied:

  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.
