I'll start looking into trainers that work specifically w/ bully breeds. Now I just feel like an @## for not doing a better job the first time around.... Thanks guys...

I didn't examine his hand though - I feel bad I know these people are nice people (even if they are a bit clueless about some dogs maybe?) but I just felt so overhwelmed. I too agree that it didnt' make me think Sam was human aggressive - just a young dog (she's only about 7-9 months old guessing) who was afriad. I'm afraid that I may have allowed her to be in a situation where she is now going to become human agressive. Oh so many variables - thank you for your encouragment - it does make a difference.

I did get the name of a lady who sounds awesome however she's in St. John which is about an hour from me and I couldnt' get to her and everyone else I called never called back until well after I had joined this last class due to a lack of choices. It's so frustrating, but I really appreciate everyone's suggestions and advice. Thank you!

Is that lady Cheryl Carlson by any chance? She is 10,000% worth an hour drive for training.
That other trainer is an idiot, and just proves how dangerous "alpha rolls" are. I don't care what breed of dog it is, when you try to dominate a dog that doesn't want to be dominated you're going to get bit.
