Ontario members, trainer needed

Quinnsmom · 07-14-2010, 10:34 PM

I'm looking for a trainer/behaviourist to refer a friend to in the London - Strathroy area. My friend is dealing with an aggressive 17 month old GSD who has bitten family members. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How far is Guelph from London?

Quinnsmom · 07-15-2010, 11:04 AM

It is about 1 hour drive. Do you have a suggestion?

Caledon · 07-15-2010, 11:46 AM

Yes I do.

I am taking Dakota there. I'm in Mississauga and it is just under an hours drive for me. Dakota is sometimes dog reactive and we had an incident in obedience class which put a halt to my lessons. I'm now working with Sue to get her reliable again so I can get the CD title I'm after.

They are very safety oriented. Sue has a GSD herself, a three year old Czech line. Her program is called the Good Dog. It consists of 4 private weekly lessons, the Good Dog Class, and weekly off leash walks (meets three times a week) if the dog is ready. From there you move up to the Walking Class, which we are in, working around other dogs who are reactive. She uses clickers, and treats, lots of treats. She does have a few dogs who are human aggressive in her classes.

I have an article that she wrote detailing her program. After I read the article I knew this was the one for us. If you pm your email address I will send it to you.

Her website is

I just started 2 weeks ago at Zorra County K9, he's terrific! He knows what he's doing and is laying a great foundation for future obedience training and trials. He gets many referrals for problem behaviours, aggression, hard to handle dogs.

Quinnsmom · 08-23-2010, 09:50 PM

Thanks gsd lover. I'll make sure he is added to my recommended list.
