[rocko pop]

I know it has been asked before but noone ever responded to the last person that asked but I need to find a good trainer that has boxer or anyother stubborn breed experience I have tried petsmart but it is not enough the instucter teaches from a book I give him credit he has given the others some help but some have taken before and just doing a refresher basically and they are all toy dogs not real dogs so if anyone has info please help at my wits end

I feel your pain - it's very difficult to find a good dog trainer. We have lucked out recently and have found an excellent trainer here in the SF Bay Area and have just started a new training program that really feels like it's going to work.

Try this link to the International Assoc of Canine Professionals. Best of Luck to you!

You can also try www.apdt.com, they have a listing of trainers by state.

Or maybe try your vet to see if he/she can recommend a trainer????

Just remember, big or small, they are all dogs to someone.

If you locate a trainer through the APDT be sure the trainer has been certified. Not all trainers listed in the APDT are. Please ckeck out this site to see what I mean. http://www.ccpdt.org/ Good luck.

I think I might have sounded a bit more in need than I might be it is I belive I might have stubborn pup and I reached a point of desperation but I have taken a stepback and a deep breath and reassessed my situation and I think it might be me, well us that need a bit more guidance. which is why I would like to find a more experienced trainer. as for rocko he know sit,down is iffy, working on stay and he is doing ok with that, still bad at walking on leash around people hes an attention junky. hardest thing is come if he knows I have a treat he runs but if not he doesnt know his name dont think he really knows his name either. sorry if I have rambled on thanks again for the help
