    Default Looking for a dog trainer in NOCO

    I've got a 5 year old German Shepherd/Malamute that's absolutely wonderful with people, but overly aggressively to a lot of dogs to a point I can't really take her to public dog parks without either an incident happening or stressing out something will happen (pretty much 50/50 now).

    Does anyone have a trainer they'd recommend in Northern Colorado?

    Buy a training collar, then go from there. If she's as smart as either of those breeds, she'll get the message sooner, then later. Our damnation mix was aggressive with other dogs, especially when they got up too close. Took 4 trips to the park before she caught on. Now all you have to do is show her the collar as a preemptive strike.

    I have used the positive training method but have a GSD that has issues with other dogs, the training collar did the trick for me all I have to do is show Gabby the hand remote and she never strays an inch.
