| I am Hiring a Trainer!! The journey to find a dog trainer in my small town has been quite a task. I decided to branch out my search to larger nearby cities (New Orleans, Baton Rouge) in hopes that someone can do in-home training for my 2 boys. For months I've been searching Craigslist, classifieds, yellow pages, asking vets, calling groomers - and finally I found Ryan! He's a behavior consultant/animal trainer and attended the School of Animal Sciences at LSU to earn his masters degree with an emphasis in animal behavior. He promotes scientific, positive training methods and is a firm believer in promoting happy relationships with your pets. What a Godsend!! We spoke for about 20 minutes on the phone last night. He's excited to take a break away from his typical behavior issue clients and work with basic obedience for my little crazies. He's working on a schedule for us and will get back to me shortly to let me know when we can begin. I dream of the day that I can take my boys somewhere in public, or even on a leisurely walk. We are so excited

| I'm glad you found someone who you are comfortable with. You have to trust that person with your babies. I must tell you, though, I cannot imagine those gorgeous boys need any improving! It's hard to improve on perfection!

| That is wonderful. I have had trainers/behaviorists come to my place and work with Buster and have had great results. I am thinking of another tune up because he has some issues that he picked up from my parents rescue dog while I was visiting this summer that I want to nip in the bud, mainly dealing with barking and protecting. I hope the sessions are very productive for you and the boys!

| I'm really excited. Let's hope he contacts me back with the schedule I just realized also that he can possibly help Max with his coprophagia problem. I'd love to get his input on that as well as the basic obedience training.

| 2 1/2 years ago I hired a trainer for Cooper but the only one I could find was a Mastiff trainer. She put a prong collar on Cooper and taught him to walk nicely... I didn't know any better The next trainer, when I got Max didn't show up twice and kept making excuses. I tried so hard to get her to the house. I hope at the very least that Ryan contacts me back.
