Please keep in mind that serious animal or training and behavior related issues need to be addressed by a professional in person. While we have many professional dog handlers, trainers, psychologists and behaviorists here, there is no safe or ethical way to diagnose or resolve severe issues over the internet.
Here at
dogtrainers we oppose the irresponsible practices of backyard breeding, puppy milling and purchasing companion animals from businesses that enable these operations to continue. We support the responsible breeding of health-tested, championed and temperament proven dogs by reputable breeders and the adopting of rescue or shelter animals. We do not tolerate discrimination against any breed, type or species of animal; we all know fault lies in owner responsibility.
