Dog behaviorist/trainers in Auckland. Not sure if this is allowed but gonna give it a go.
My partner and I have recently taken ownership over a little 5kg dog (Male/2 years old) from a acquaintance that gave up on him. He has barking issues mainly towards strangers/other dogs/random noises, lunges ahead while on walks, and has separation anxieties.
My partner has had 2 dogs before but none of them were as hard to train as our current dog. We know this is due to the previous owner not training him correctly while the dog was still a puppy and the lack of attention/love the previous owner gave to the dog. So we are looking for a dog behaviorist/trainer within the auckland region, mainly 1 on 1 visits at home.
We want to go with word of mouth/recommendations before resorting to google. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
