    I'm looking for a reputable dog behaviourist that does house visits in the north-west (Sligo) area. Will only use one that uses humane reward based methods. It's for a dog that has other dog issues. Iv checked the APDT website and the nearest one listed is Bev Truss in Clare.

    Wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these? http://www.hollybarndogtraining.com/4401.html http://www.cherrytreeboardingkennels.com/
    Hollybarn says they don't use food rewards but do use positive reinforcement, but a lot of mention of pack leader. :confused: The second only seems to offer residential training which I'm not interested in and doesn't offer much info as regards methods used.

    Hi Zapperzy,
    These two ladies are APBC (Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors: www.apbc.org.uk) members. I don't know if you're familiar with this association, but you'll not go wrong with any of their members!

    Sandra and Lena are based in Fermanagh (Enniskillen, I think? With another practice in Lisburn), and I'm not sure how far they'll travel, but certainly worth giving a shout!
    Good luck!
