I am glad you are going to try to work with Ryder. Even if you can not afford to go to a trainer there are many thing you can do on your own. My suggestion would be to purchase Aggression in Dogs by Brenda Aloff. It is kind of expensive but worth it. I have used the protocols for my dog-reactive dog and he is doing wonderful. It is tons of work - everyday over and over. You have to always be watching to know what is around so he does not see it first until after he starts understanding the training you are doing. Brenda also does seminars and private lessons. I travel to Michigan yearly to work with her for a few days. You can PM me if I can help you.
