Hi Katrina Kay, my name is Tim Rains and I own Wagging Rights Dog Training in South Elgin. I teach private lessons and deal with these issues all the time. Give me a call at 847 682 2116, I can teach you about my style of training and also give you info on the other styles that exist out there so you can make a more educated decision. My website is waggingrightsdogtraining.com, I have a YouTube channel and Facebook page filled with my personal videos and articles

I'm a certified trainer and I'd be happy to answer any questions if you'd like to PM me. Please be aware that training is an unregulated business, so anyone can do anything to your dog with impunity. Look for a trainer who will motivate your dog to change her behavior by rewarding good behavior, instead of punishing the dog through the use of reprimands, intimidation, and pain via shock, pinch and choke. It can, and most likely will, make your dog's behavior worse in the long run. The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior has some guidelines for choosing a trainer that you might find helpful: https://avsab.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How_to_Choose_a_Trainer_AVSAB.pdf

Anderson Animal Shelter has a list of recommended trainers. http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/09 e505_78 b85 b87254441 fbb606 dd42990703 a5.pdf

We had a dog with aggression issues come into our rescue and we used FOUND Chicago. They specialize in aggression. They worked wonders for our guy and he was a large pitbull with probably much scarier problems than a little shin tzu lol. The only issue is that they are located in Chicago so it was a drive but it was well worth it. We put him through their 2 week boot camp and it was great. Boot camp is not cheap, but it does work. They do a 30 minute consultation before they start any training so they can get a game plan together. The other thing to remember is that dog training depends a lot on the owner. She will need to be trained in how to be a leader. The problem with most shih tzus is that they are babied and treated like humans. They have no leader, so they naturally try to step into the leadership role. sometimes their are cases where the particular owner is just not right for the dog because hey don't possess the energy needed for that particular dog. You can give her my info and have her call me if she needs any advice. Just Pm me if needed:)
