Anyone in OK use Bob Gibson Training Kennels?

Also in regards to Bob Gibson, he has trained many titled gsd's and world champions. He requires at least one group class weekly, but will also train one on one in your home. He has trained for blind lead dogs, hearing dogs, for police and military dogs as well as many show dogs for different events. He has a wide range of clients from professionals in sports, entertainment, business, medical, police, military and regular everyday citizens. But none of this matters. You have to find a trainer that you get along with. Because after all they aren't just training your pet, guardian, or companion, but they are also training you! You have to like your trainer or you won't trust their advice/training and therefore won't learn. Good luck, and if you want more info join the German Shepard Dog Club of America and international. American breeds tend to be more bred for looks and have a more relaxed attitude, whereas most German bloodlines are bred for aggressiveness of prey drive and are preferred for high demand/risk work. Good luck and keep working with your dog until you find a suitable trainer for you. Socialize often with all ages,ethnicities, sex. They learn from you what is normal behavior and suitable contact from strangers and will pick up on this naturally. They will also natural become protective of you and what is their family after a certain age naturally. They will pick up on your moods and reflect this back on you and others. Study your dog, they are studying you! Always remain even tempered when working them and never work with them when you are in a bad mood. Good luck and enjoy the awesome bond that can be had from a well trained well handled dog that has a job to do!

Ashley, have you gotten in touch with anyone from the Tulsa GSD club? I would imagine they would be able to help you find a trainer.

This is a very old thread - the OP hasn't been around in two years.
