Posting this here for the Mrs...

We have a 125 lb Mastiff/Pyraneese mix that is pretty darn skittish, and when he gets nervous he can get kind of aggressive (fight or flight kind of thing). When he goes into that mode, he can be scary and doesn't listen so well.

We need to get some recommendations of some folks here in Austin we could visit with about this to curb some of his less desireable behaviors around new folks.

Thanks!

I board my dogs here and they are awesome. Never used their trainers

don't know how to link, sorry

Caitlin lives in south austin now and does home visits for most of her work. We used her based on a couple of recommendations and she didn't disappoint.

A couple years ago we used Marcus Keyes of Dog and Handler because we had a Groupon. We had 5-6 sessions gor our 3 dogs which helped on people coming to door, walking, and just going to their beds. Then I saw his mugshot on Statesman and he quit responding to emails. Apparently he's still around, maybe our guys were too much. Vet wife says Taurus Training is good, especially RR location.

Fidelio Dog Works. Steve Haynes. He is awesome. You usually have to book a month or so in advance.
