Dog Training/Dog Trainers in Slope

teh_johnsons

I am looking for a dog trainer for one on one lessons. I have a pit bull mix who is very shy, but has fear aggression problems with other dogs when she is on-leash - she barks and lunges at other dogs about 80% of the time. And there are a LOT more dogs here than our old neighborhood.

Can anyone recommend a good trainer in the area or who would make visits to South Park Slope?

Although you don't need puppy kindergarten, the trainers should all do private lessons, I'd imagine.

I also just remembered this trainer - http://www.pumpkinpups.com/
I *think* I first saw flyers for her at the Sean Casey Halloween event, suggesting that she is local (and community minded!).

Try Viviane from Pumpkin Pups. She worked a bit with a rescue I had and I thought she was very good.
