i was wondering if anybody is or knows a good dog trainer to help me out with my dog. my dog is half great dane/some kind of sheapard. he doesnt listen to all the commands unless treats are involved. i contacted one and they wanted like $30.00 bucks an hour. i was like, "thats crap". anyways he listens when we walk most of the time and is pretty well on a leash just need some help fine tunning things.

Have you tried contacting Troy Ballard paws-for-reflection@hotmail.com, www.paws-for-reflection.com She is really nice. Did a demo at the last Mutt March and we used her for our last pooch. Good luck.

I second Troy. One of my dogs is a graduate of her Canine Good Citizen's class

Honestly...for working with someone who knows what they are doing..$30 an hour is a good deal. I hear great things from people I trust about Troy Ballard...check out her rates. With no regard to quality...most would consider PetsMart the low price leader...even with them for one on one training it cost somewhere around 60-80 per session. I know my clients avg cost is somewhere around 42.00 per hour with some extra perks, but I know I'm coming in with a lot more experience than a PetsMar trainer. Also, on top of the basics of training like puppy 101, CGC, and basic obediance, I deal with aggressive behavior modification,and the suitiations most other trainers will simply refuse to train or reccomend putting a dog down or on drugs to solve. Do what your doing..ask around. Maybe all you need IS the 100.00 Petsmart group session...in which case thier price can't be beat. If you want more than a treat motivate sit/stay then check around. best of luck! =)
