Thank you so much for your podcast series! We just got a new 1 year old dog from the shelter, and your podcasts have been invaluable for getting started with my first big dog as an adult.

I just listened to your Finding a Trainer podcasts. Could you recommend a good trainer(s) in the Austin area? I would like to start with a positive reinforcement model. Our dog is very sweet and already house trained. We only need to work on teaching her how to walk on a leash and get tips on introducing her to our cats which she barks at now.

i see that this was posted over a month ago, but I just discovered this forum.

I am a dog trainer in South Austin if you are still in search of one. I am highly experienced and use positive, dog friendly methods. All my work is done with the owners present and focuses on communication.
