The first one, definitely. Getting Victoria Stilwell's trademark on your website is not as easy as simply paying the money, she wants references, assessments and all sorts. If she is a VS trainer, you won't hear any pack leader rubbish or dominance stuff. If you search for Victoria Stilwell Trainer, you will find a wealth of information on her website.

Don't touch the second one with a barge pole. Dog Listener/Jan Fennell = ignore the dog. No matter what the problem, ignore the dog. Another of her favourites if the dog pulls is "don't walk it then".

If you feel you still need help, get the VS one, but I think you are doing fine at the moment.

That is exactly the reason I am doing it. Everyone in the same boat, all there knowing the other dogs and owners need help from us as much as we need help from them and a behaviourist controlling it all and seeing exactly what is going on. I know I need some time out walking with Mia where I am not going to be judged or screamed at. Jana who is doing the classes has done more for Mia and I than anyone, most importantly giving me confidence. She has spent the last few months assessing all the dogs and only putting three in each class that she believes will be the best mix. She is also taking two people that are friends of hers with really steady dogs (one is Jana's own). I can only see if it helps.

Sounds like you have an excellent trainer there, I just wish we had something similar in my area that I could get to.

cant really mention anything to help im afraid-but didnt want to read and run.

You seem to have got really far with amy! so well done,keep at it -it cant be easy. if you still need more help in the future and can afford it- behaviourist 'emma collings' reccomended by Victoria Stillwell looks quite good and as newfies mum said its not easy getting a victoria stillwell's trademark!
keep at it - you certainly seem to be a great dog owner,many would have just given up.
sending well wishes to the future. well done!
