As a fan of pack dynamics, my favorites are two brothers who have what seems to be a shelter and own a page on Instagram called Ultimate Precision K-9 and Joel Beckman
The brothers are really good at showing the limits of what is pack dynamics and what is real agression/bullying (which requires human intervention) which is extremely important to understand if you want your dog to have a social life; when dynamics gain sparkles there is the right moment to intervene and if we do it too soon, dogs dont get a chance to settle things on their own and if we take too long, theres more chance for them to hurr themselves; in both cases it can traumatize the dog, not only when its late as many people think; i see (and were abble to successfully help some) people who avoid any type of action and these owners are usually the ones with the most fearful stressed dogs
One beautiful moment i have in memory is when my gsd was like 6 months and two mid sized mutts locked her on a tree barking to her; the girl who owned one of the mutts asked me whether i wanted her to remove her dog and i said no, instead i looked at my gsd and told her in a confident way: "cmon girl you can get out of there, i'm here if you need but you can do it CMON" and she managed to make the mutts step behind and leave
Bonus result: the two girls are friends of mine nowadays, one of them became a close friend and the 3 dogs love to play together nowadays, to the point of defending each other when necessary
And my other favorite trainner is Joel Beckman, who owns two dobermans a couple other dogs that help him educate reactive/agressive dogs
One important thing among many that I like to always remind is to be over aware and depending on the situation, dont take the risk with pitbulls, bull terriers and other dogs designed to kill other animals
I'm not a fan of "positivits"; to use positive techniques every now and then, fine, but to make a doctrine under it is somewhat absurd to me and boy i see so many people losing many (and putting on some unnecessary weight on their dogs) thanks to these positivist trainners...
