anyone heard of this lady Home Dog Training in Glasgow Ayr, Kilmarnock & Irvine

I really need some help with my pup, and all the ebooks and videos are not working, any idea about the cost for getting someone like this to help??

Not familiar with Bark busters I think it may be a franchise.

Association of pet dog trainers though, do have to meet a certain criteria and have a code of ethics and only use kind effective fair reward based training. To find a member near you for either classes or one to one.

thanks I'll check that out

If you want a behaviourist then CAPBT COAPE Association of pet behaviourists and trainers also have a code of ethics and only use kind reward based methods. If it is a behaviourist you want then
CAPBT - COAPE Association of Pet Behaviourists and Trainers should again help you find one in your area.

thanks, i got to the same people with both your links, have sent an email, love my pup but causing me too much trouble , dog whisperer not helping

just a wee joke there !! not wanting to start a big debate !!

so my dog is 9 months, is that still puppy training or dog training??

Adult training. Puppy training is usually up to 6 months - of course it depends on breed. Big dogs mature slower than small so better is to ask a trainer.

Ive found when I have taken mine, there tends to be a puppy socialisation and training basics for the really young, then an intermediate class, when the puppys are too large/ready to advance, at a guess you will probably be in an intermediate which is young dogs/those who have learned basics and ready to move to next level. A trainer once you have spoken to them will tell you what will be the best class anyway. Usually you can go along and observe a class before hand.

B-B is a franchise; they actively prefer 'dog-lovers' to dog-trainers as franchisees.
U pay a whopping fee, attend a few weeks training, & set-up shop. It used to be 3-weeks;
i'm not sure what it is now, as they have taken the details off their website.

KikoPup's channel on U-tube is very safe, very humane, & very enlightening:

what specific problems are U coping with?

at 9-MO, has the dog been desexed?
- the 9-MO to 10-MO testosterone spike exaggerates every male-pattern behavior; neutering can help
prevent the young male dog learning things not easily unlearned. It also reduces other dog's reactions
to him - which helps, too.
- bitches who are desexed before their first-estrus have virtually no chance of mammary-cancer.

what breed? does the problem-behavior have a breed or type-specific component?
chasing in herding dogs, barking in terrierrrists, nuisance-barking in GSDs, guarding in many breeds... ?

i wouldn't expect it would.

confrontational, harsh, aversive or scary tactics [like flooding a fearful or reactive dog] often backfire.
aversive tools only make our presence unwelcome, & the training process distasteful, by association.

if OTOH we make training AKA learning a happy, enjoyable part of life, both we & the dog will want more
of it, not less - it's no longer a dreaded requirement, but a happily-anticipated part of the routine. When we do more,
they learn more. there's no limit to what we can teach our dogs, other than their anatomy & our imaginations.
