Hi ladies, I’m in need of a dog trainer within Melbourne. We have a 20 month old and unfortunately she keeps chasing the dog and cornering him which resulted in him biting her arm yesterday.
He is a slightly anxious dog and our daughters loud and unpredictable movements can upset him. Thanks in advance

Hey there, I’m a vet nurse in Melbourne so happy to make a suggestion.
As it’s a pretty serious situation where a bite has occurred, I would suggest a veterinary behaviourist. They would be highly qualified and can provide medication for your pet if required.

Unfortunately dog training and behaviour is not a well regulated industry so qualifications and levels of expertise can be very variable.
APDT is a site for dog trainers - https://www.apdt.org.au/about-our-trainers
Thank you for the info, I will take a look!
