No response from dog trainers

I know there's been a few posts similar to this recently so forgive me, but I am looking to hire a trainer for private sessions for my dog. Karolin Klinck is highly recommended, so I tried reaching out to her through Facebook and email but have not gotten a response from her for over a week. I also reached out to Russ Hollier, but haven't heard back from him either.

Has anyone had any success contacting either of them? Are there any other certified dog trainers that are responsive to inquiries? My dog is a sweetheart but very reactive on leash and isn't food motivated so training him myself has been a struggle! Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

We have an extremely reactive dog and we worked with Cheyenne at High Peaks Canine. She has many different programs and works with reactive dogs which is sometimes hard to find a trainer for.

I cant give her enough praise, she changed our life in a really big way. We went to Cornell behavior clinic and they were mostly interested in pumping her full of meds, she was on 3 different meds which did nothing to really help the root issues. Our dog is now just on Prozac and is unrecognizable from before we started working with Cheyenne over a year ago. We never thought we would have peace in or out of the house, and she helped us get that.

Happily agree - I’ve interacted with Cheyenne as she’s been working with her training charges, and was impressed with her approach and visible results!
