Fortunately there are a few.
I can personally recommend Steve Mann from Alpha Dog Training School, he is a member of the APDT and was on that TV programme which paired up stars and rescue dogs and was the trainer of Selina Scotts dog that won.
Very nice man, very good trainer.
That's really interesting, I was recommended to this trainer also!
Have heard very good things about him from several sources - and one other training school that was full up and so couldn't help me, told me that Alpha was probably the best in the area

yeah plenty of replies!
would be great to have a chat I'd love to find someone who can really help me. I have also contacted one of the people recomended in the posts to see what they have to say!
Its probably mad but i was hoping to find a woman trainer as my Dog reacts so much better to women!
I have had 4 ridgebacks before and thought i could handle anything but I guess thats why this has happend to show me I'm only human!
How can I contact you?

Being such a big dog she can easily drag me ontop of a terrified pedestrian in attack mode. Anything she does not deem as a threat, and she will lean against me shivering. She has always been well socialised ever since she was a puppy so it can't be lack of exposure. Any comments would be appreciated.
