If you can't get a trainer or go to classes, read every book you can get your hands on....first about behavior, then training, then don't give up on your dog. If you want a good dog, it will take you being a calm, assertive leader and lots of training and reinforcement and consistency. Good luck!
You mentioned reading up on behavior and training, would you be able to suggest a few of those books? I'm interested in reading and researching those myself.
