I think i need to meet these trainers..

Steve is near the Blue Mountains in Kurrajong Heights, NSW. Approx 45 minutes to an hour from Parramatta according to his website. I think to drive down it takes about 16 hours? AFAIK Steve can cater from people coming from other states and can organise accomodation for you, I'd email him and have a chat 16 hours , that would be one hell of a trip if he looked at my boy and said he couldn't help

Can someone please tell me exactly how far K9 Force is located from Brisbane. Seems my last resort may involve a trip down. I haven't decided yet but i'm thinking about it, but have no idea what travel time is involved. I've never travelled outside of Queensland.

If the trainer recommended something drastic I would be getting a second opinion before making a decision. I can re-PM you those trainers details if you need them. She has rehabilitated a lot of very aggressive dogs. Thanks Husky, i'm not making any quick decisions on this. I still have the details of the one you sent through before.

I've had the appointment and unfortunately it wasn't good news at all. I have some tough decisions to make now. Make's me mad to think this all relates back to the original owner's mistreatment. How am i meant to let go of a dog that thinks the world of me and trusts me........

I used DogTech here in Brisbane. In my case i can't think of anything nice to say about the experience.

seems to me a lot of trainers out there don't really know what they're doing, the one's i've tried have been useless and myself and my dog gained nothing positive from the experience........I hope my appointment with "The Pawman" this weekend is a success.......

I've had people PM me and all have recommended the same two trainers so that's a good sign. I've decided to go with The Pawman and have made the appointment. It's not for 3 weeks, but i'll let you all know what i thought and how it went. Thanks for all the PM's and advice.

Can you PM me that forum name please ?

What a spoilt little boy, beautiful photo's

The right new owner is out there, just have to be a little patient. I took on a rescue Rottweiler that had been abused and wasn't and still isn't 100% stable ( although only has issue's with other dogs now ) and haven't looked back. There are plenty of single / childless households like mine that will take her on.

Of course, my location. I'm in Brisbane.

I'm looking to try one more trainer and think i will give "The Pawman" a try. Has anyone here dealt with him and if so what did you think . My boy still has some dog to dog aggression and i still don't have total control of him when we're out in public. I tried Dog Tech in the past but in my opinion that was a waste and i wanted to try group training, however the instructors wouldn't allow my boy to take part with the other dogs. I'd be happy to hear any other recommendations too.
