good dog trainer?

Hi all,

Any recommendations for a dog trainer in the Prospect Heights/Park Slope area? Preferably someone who won't break the bank... Thanks!

Different trainers are better for different issues. Are you looking to work on a bad behavior or do basic training?

A little of both, I guess, though my main issue with both pups is aggression. With one, it's nervous energy that turns into aggression, especially on leash. The other dog gets riled up by his sister.

Any suggestions would be great!

Hahaha sounds cute... good luck

Hi there! We hired a great trainer (his name is Tyril Frith) and he did a great job with our dog Chico. After the first lesson we did see a difference. We needed 6 sessions to fix the problem. He is a different dog now! I don't really remember the price but it wasn't that expensive.
Maybe you can check out his website: http://tyrilfrithcanineacademy.com/
Good luck!!

The Dog Whisperer, all seasons. Aggression and nervousness aren't things that can be trained away. You need to become a pack leader and understand dog psychology before you can train a dog. It's essential to lead your pups into a steady calm submissive state. I've taken the tools presented by Ceasar in his series and have been able to "fix" every single issue that has presented itself with our rescue red nose pit bull and our rescue cat (which was living with us for nearly 4 years before the dog arrived.) There are many good trainers out there, I used a great guy in Queens but then I realized that all of his techniques (and more) were outlined in The Dog Whisperer. He was more or less training "us", getting us into a certain mind set before walking and disciplining. If you need that sort of guidance go for it. But you might realize, as I did, that you can control your own mind set and emotions enough to save hundreds of dollars and simply incorporate Ceasar's techniques into your life.

He does free clinics in Queens give him a call.

susie takes care of my big girl, who has nervous energy/aggression issues when on-leash. she's more than reasonable $wise (susie, that is) and does a great job of individualizing the interventions to the canines. http://www.susiespetcare.com/

My friend used Tyril for problems similar to yours and the results have been fantastic. Other trainers' techniques were not working and his really did the trick. I don't think he's cheap anymore, though. He's so in demand he has recently increased his prices quite a bit from what I've heard.

If it's kind of mild, I imagine that Susie could help. She walked our dog when he was still uncertain of other dogs and it went really well.
