I'm hoping to find a good dog trainer in the Toronto area that provide in-home services. Any recommendations? I found
www.animalbehaviour.ca in Dogs Annual, but they're a little pricey.....
We had a baby in the summer who is now beginning to be more mobile. Our shepherd has exceeded my expectations and handled the change so well (you leave me alone and I'll leave you alone!), but when babies get mobile it's an entirely different situation. Our baby is of course not allowed to bother our dog at all, it's more a matter of our dog reacting and approaching our daughter when we're trying to "walk" with her (never mind when she starts to crawl). She's jealous and we have to instantly pick up our baby as it's too uncomfortable of a situation and we just can't risk it.
Our shepherd has never been comfortable around children and has been our "only" child for 11 years so I don't know exactly how much we can reasonably expect from her, but we want to try everything we can!
