Yep! Always ask before you commit to a service, especially if it involves a beloved pet. Make sure your ideologies match up with whomever you hire.
I specialize in positive reinforcement, force free training. I work with puppies, reactive dogs, and dogs that suffer from separation anxiety. I currently do not work with aggression in dogs, but I can happily refer you to someone that does.
Nope! Quite simply, those "tools" and methods aren't needed to get effective results. Check the science :)
