I agree 100% with you on training builds confidence in dogs. I worked with Cody at home in basic commands and a few tricks, he is very food motivated, so he learns learns fast lol. I took Cody for obedience training after he learned all the basic, plus, commands at home. This was a privately owned school, I took 2 courses of 6 visits per course, one session a week, a total of 12 sessions. He came away being an aggressive dog, he was not that way when he started.

This OP's dog needs a one on one personal behaviorist to reprogram the pup if that can even happen. With a dog such as Mickey I would not waste my time or money on a training school, I would go straight to a behaviorist that will concentrate on his one issue, no dogs or ppl to distract the pup, a one on one personal sessions. That is my opinion and what I would do if I had a Mickey.
