Anyone know a good Montreal trainer?

[kayla]

I am looking for a good trainer in Montreal, the last one I saw wanted to throw a chain at my dog at which point I turned around and never went back . I need someone experienced with on-leash aggression, who can deal with it in a positive way. I will also be looking for an advanced group lesson when I feel she is ready. Other than her leash manners she is a very well trained dog, and not aggressive in other situations, just when she is on-leash and sees another dog on the way to the park (on the way back she is usually better as she is tired out). If anyone knows a good trainer in Montreal for this please let me know!

Thanks for the info technodoll. I just gave her a call and she said that she has the same problem with her dog and that the only thing she finds that works is distracting her dog with a treat or toy before the aggression starts. She says once the aggression starts there isn't much you can do so you have to be aware of other dogs and distract before they are spotted by your dog. She says on-leash aggression is usually about fear-aggression as they can't run away if they need to, therefore they attack. Too bad, I have been having this problem for quite a while now and keep trying to figure out a way to overcome it, it makes walking her somewhat difficult at times

That being said I would still like to know of any good more advanced training classes. She knows her basic obedience but it would be fun to get into more advanced tricks etc. Anyone know of a good group lesson like this?

Well I certainly know of one bad one as well. Are we allowed to post which trainers to stay away from?

I've got an evaluation appt with Brigade Canine for next weekend, anyone heard anything good or bad about them?

Hello

Have any of you heard of Bark Busters and if so are they good or bad?

[littlesister]

I have. I've used them. I have had some success, but I don't have anything to compare them to. They may not use only positive rein. methods, but I never had success with only cookies, so I don't have a comparison.

Edited to add: Kayla, your PM box is full...
