Milwaukee Area: recommendations for dog trainer to help with dog aggression issues?
I'm looking for professional help in the Milwaukee, WI area for one of our Boxers with aggression problems. She just recently started attacking our other female Boxer. It's terrifying! She is fine with adults, children and other dogs -- except this one, which happens to be her pup. Other people told me this wouldn't be a problem. My husband is threatening to get rid of her, but I refuse to give up on her since we are already her second home. She was previously owned by her breeder. Any good experiences with a dog/people trainer in the area?

Here is one: http://www.repertoiretraining.com/index.html
You could also see about getting an animal behaviorist to assess your problem boxer.
Although I don't know how close Madison is to Milwaukee, here is one located there: http://www.bluedogtraining.com/trainer_or_behavior...
I'm certain you can search the internet and find more behaviorists and trainers in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
If nothing else, call your local no kill animal shelter and explain to them what is going on and ask if they can't point you in the right direction.
Good on you for not wanting to give up on this girl.
I know exactly what you are going through and I wish you all the luck in the world.

Hi Friend
It sounds like you have been mislead. Boxers never tolerate another Boxer of the same sex on the same yard. Even if they are mom and pup you will have fighting dogs as soon as the pup starts maturing. Boxers can tolerate another breed dog of the same sex quite well (bigger or smaller) but it must not be another Boxer. Your options here are to permanently separate the two by keeping them in different camps (if you have space) or re-homing one of the two. Sorry that it is bad news. Keep in mind that she can be very happy at a new home and the fact that she is fighting with the other female does not mean that she is an aggressive or difficult dog.

I don't have any personal experience but I've heard of Amy something from Amiable Dog Training. She even had a spot on a local channel for a while.
