Default Behaviorist in DFW?

We are in Carrollton, but it doesn't matter where it is in the metroplex whether they're in Dallas or Fort Worth.

We are dealing with a 9 week old puppy that is showing food aggression and sometimes aggression over his toys.

I know he's young, but this needs to be corrected.

Any advice on a behaviorist that can deal with a puppy in this manner would be much appreciated.

I would start here: Find a Great Dog Trainer | Karen Pryor Academy

I sent you a pm, one of the trainers listed above I absolutely would not use. I've had personal experience and cannot give a good recommendation.

Does everyone run to a trainer/behaviorist when they have 9 week old puppy problems? Are there enough trainer/behaviorists in the world to handle all the 9 week old puppy problems? Surely we humans are smart and assertive enough to work some of these things out on our own. What did our parents do? Run to an 'expert' every time they had problems with us or our pets? I think NOT.

Paddy, Sleepyhouse's pup was severely neglected, undernourished and starved, and has serious behavioral problems. I applaud them for seeking help early in his life. To the OP : most of the people listed are obedience trainers, not behaviorists. I'll contact some people in rescue and see if they know of anyone who can help a pup like yours.

That's because it was much discussed in this thread:
