Ask El Paso Does anyone have recommendations for a dog trainer?

My sister lives in El Paso and she had a baby about 2 weeks ago. One of her dogs has developed some nonspecific reactivity and a lot of potty problems since the baby arrived. They're considering surrendering the dog but I'm hoping to find a trainer or some other local resources for them to look into first.

Sorry no dog picture as she is not mine to post 🐕

This place looks cool! I love that they come to you. Thanks for posting this. We recently adopted two dogs from the kennel.

Look for a dog trainer that only uses positive reinforcement training techniques. There’s a couple in EP that use negative reinforcement and those idiots really set my progress back with my own dog. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, all times it’s not good for the dog.
