Help Recommend a Good Dog Trainer!

[Ginuwine5]

Tried searching and no luck but I'm looking for a dog trainer for my 7 month old pup. I've Googled and it comes up with so many but hardly any reviews in order to make an informed decision, so I'm looking to my CP family for help.

Background info:
7 month old male Cavapoo (Cavalier/Poodle) that is fixed . He's pretty much well trained in letting us know when he has to go outside in order to go..good at listening to basic commands (sit, stand and down). I think I want to deal with his behavioral issues mostly..as he gets way too excited when people come over, including us, by jumping and running around. Still likes to pick up random things from the floor or my socks and run away from us when we try to get it back from him. Barking at the slightest noise he hears coming from elsewhere. Lastly, he constantly pulls when being walked, so I'd like to start training him to heel.

Could anyone recommend a good trainer or classes that may come close to dealing with behavioral stuff, I know it won't be exactly dealing with all the concerns I have, but your reviews and outcomes from certain trainers will definitely help! I'm in the NW, so something closer would be great.

Thanks CP

I hear Spolumbo's is doing some killer training these days.

I attended classes at Dogma and found them to be really good with all kinds of dogs. The thing is, you have to be consistent and put in the work with training when you're between classes as well. a little extra work now will get you a well behaved dog it's whole life.
