We have a highly spirited/exuberant/crazy one-year old beagle who needs some leash and obedience training. She doesn't have an aggressive or mean bone in her body and I wouldn't want someone to "break" her or put her on one of those pronged collars, just teach her manners. Ideally, someone who could come in a couple of times a week and take her out for a couple of hours and train her in basic commands. (Note -- she is NEVER alone, and gets 4-5 walks a day -- this is not a case of a dog who is bored, lonely, or underexercised. She is simply very high-spirited, puppyish, untrained, and just plain nuts).
So, recommendations on your firm but understanding dog trainer?

I used Bark Busters and thought they were great (I am in Fairfax). But it all comes down to you keeping up with the training. I broke some of my dog's issues ( I have 2 seniors) but some remain as I haven't kept up with things

| I have a hound, a Harrier. It's in the beagle family. It goes beagle, harrier, foxhound. After spending about $1500 in training, I went to a kennel who only trains hunting dogs and hounds. It was called Braveheart Kennels. It is in Frederick. You leave your dog for 4 weeks. What a difference. They laughed at me when I talked about clicker and treat training. |

| DAvid Schmucker at Sidewalk Dog Training in NW DC is fantastic. Lots of my friends and neighbors have used him. He is really, really good at what he does. They have all raved about him. Highly recommended. |
