George is a super solid dude with some great techniques and lessons. He is fantastic with dogs and people and helped me a lot with my dog. I had a puppy who was ruining my life and I was basically constantly at my wit's end with. I happened to meet him while walking her in Henry Cowell and he showed me a quick trick to get her to chill out with other people on the trail. I thanked him for the tip and he mentioned that he was a trainer, I signed up and never looked back!
Not sure what his rates are now, but a few years back he offered a 10 week course for something like $200 or a lifetime package for $500, which basically means you can come and train with him for the entire life of the dog, or call him any time with questions or advice, he also runs a kennel out of his home and you get a discounted rate with the life package, I think it's like $40 a night, but check out his site and give him a call.
On a related note, training a dog is really about putting in the work. Nothing that anyone teaches you is going to work if you don't stick with it with your dog. Lots of love, lots of exercise, lots (and maybe most important) of patience.
Good luck!

The dog needs training and somebody to pick up the poop? Sounds like she should regime the dog.
