I have a good trainer (decorated protection background) for my GSD but he is far and I already commute Mon-Fri for work.
Really need a trainer for my lab but I don't want to add a 7th commute for the week. My lab is terrible around other dogs. It is not a fear thing he is the most confident dog I've met and he wants to control the situation and create order around other dogs. Most of you would not believe a lab could act like this. Of course an angel around all humans, even infants.
Noticed all the local area trainers (socal, reseda, encino, northridge) use pure positive methods and many state "no aggressive dogs".
Is it pretty much a given that pure positive Obdnce classes will kick out aggressive dogs?
I was always curious about this. What happens when a dog goes into fight drive in the middle of class that advocates pure positive techniques?
Should I even try to enroll my dog in a local class or would it be a waste of time?
