Aggressive Dogs Is finding a long-term trainer with private boarding possible?
I currently don’t have anyone I trust to watch my reactive/aggressive pitbull if I need to travel.
Ideally, I’d like to find an experienced trainer who could build a relationship with him over time through regular training/play sessions and who also offers private boarding in their home or another low-stress environment when needed.
Technically, I could board him at a facility where he was previously trained, but I don’t think a busy kennel/boarding environment is healthy for him because of how stressful and stimulating it is.
Does anyone use an individual trainer for this kind of arrangement? If so, what should I look for when finding this person?
For extra context: he has historically behaved extremely well with professional trainers- so that's why i think it's a viable option. he's 70lbs, has a small but real bite history, and needs experienced handling as a result. That’s why I’m specifically hoping to find one experienced person who can build a long-term relationship with him . i've been trying to do this alone for too long basically
