Good Trainers in Maine

ah, to bad! well i am glad you found someone, its definitely not easy! i really don't think the general trainers have a good concept of gsd issues........my agility trainer is great with that but not with Sam's issues at hand.....

I think with Jim being a K9 Officer and training his dogs he knows them super good. Even though the other specialized in aggression it was like he was afraid to do much with it.
They all have there own ways so it does make it hard.One might be good for one dog or owner but not fit the next potential client that comes in.
Good Luck

if i don't find anyone i will continue to work with it on my own. he's fine with OB and Agility. my biggest problem is getting him comfortable around people, he is especially intimidated with men. as i said i have had him around people since day one he shouldn't have a problem at this point, but does.......so, we need to back up and counter condition which is a slow process.....he is pretty good with other dogs for the most part......he has learned how to interact properly.......i am glad about that, but this people thing doesn't make sense. he's never had any bad experiences, only good meetings with people giving him treats, etc.......so, we keep plugging along with that. actually if i had a choice i would rather have him not so good with dogs, and good with people........
