Rott trainer in Los Angeles area

[lappy]

Does anybody know a good dog trainer or a good school (In Los Angeles area) where I can take my 15 month old rottie for traning ?
he knows all the basic stuff, but still kind of crazy inside the house(he spends most of his day outside).

No, but if no other response are forthcoming try the Los Angeles area Rottweiler Rescue group for ideas.

Years ago I had a great trainer in Whittier--which is outskirts of LA county toward Orange County, but don't recall his name, and even if I did, he is probably dead and you are probably not near Whittier.

Are you near Woodland Hills? Someone I think Moondog lists location as Woodland Hills.

Also the author of the book Dog Whisperer is in the SF Valley I believe, if you wanted to go with clicker and liked that style. www.raisewithpraise.com ? I have no idea what he is like in person.

You could also try a forum search for "Los Angeles" and see what (or who) comes up, if no suggestions come in otherwise.

Perhaps contact the Golden State Rottweiler Club . They are located in Southern Cal and could probably point you in the right direction. This is an AKC affiliated club, but I know some of the members are in a So. Cal USRC club, also.

If none of the previous suggestions lead you to a trainer, try www.apdt.com where you can do a trainer search by city. LA is a big place and it can easily be 30 miles between training classes. I'm sure you'll be able to find some good training within a short distance of where you live using one of these suggestions.

Make sure you observe a class or two before you sign up and read the section on the link I provided about how to choose a trainer before you go. That will help you determine which trainer best fits your needs.

Good luck! :)
