Hello all -
I am hopeful someone could provide me with a contact for someone with a extensive history with working line Mal/Dutchies. I have lived through some recent events which have left me wondering what-in-the-hell-went-wrong, and I am hopeful someone who has experienced various stages of Dutch development can help shed some light on things.
As I expect this to be a long email or phone conversation, I will compensate the trainer/behaviorist appropriately.
Suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Denver Colorado.
Unfortunately, the dog will not be able to be evaluated and I am simply looking for someone to provide with me "...ah yes, I have seen this before at age 5 to 6..." or "...you really screwed up with this area for most DS..." via a review of some long winded history.

My goal is to give you tools that are realistic, that fit your life, and that work with your busy schedule.
And my goal is to inspire change in you. To arm you with the tools to be the person your dog needs you to be. And to build your confidence so that you can effect real meaningful behavior change both in yourself, and in your dog, regardless of your goals.
I always tell everyone, training is about your relationship with your dog…not your dog’s relationship with his trainer. And my goal is to help you build that unbreakable bond on a strong foundation of respect, love and a whole lot of fun.

Honestly you could tell me everything you want to about the dog and what happened and what is happening but with out seeing it and being able to ask questions it's impossible to figure out over the internet or by phone! Why isnt the dog able to be evaluated? I've dealt with super aggressive dogs and never had a problem doing an evaluation... sounds like you will need serious training!
