Anyone have a good dog trainer?

[Nonbryan 173]

I need some help teaching Fido some obedience.  He knows how to sit and lay down, but I need him to not act like a complete buffoon when someone comes over. to the house  He hits a redline and I can't dial him back in.  He has no social manners at all and is stubborn as all get out!  does anyone have a good dog trainer or school they could recommend in the Austin area?

Good  dog don't need a trainer, what you want is a bad dog trainer.

I got a guy south of Houston if distance ends up not being a factor. 6 weeks. $1000. Best money I’ve ever spent on an animal.

Do you and your family have time to increase his social skills by frequent walks, dog parks, etc  ?

May want to give that a try before the trainer route.    Lot of good info on the net about socialization of dogs.

Not gonna be popular take, but watch a few episodes of Dog Whisperer and save your money. Lots of competing methods, but his shit works.

I've found for training dogs that "Jif" is the best.  Start them with creamy and then when they understand not to bite, then you can switch to crunchy if they like that better.
