the more i think about it and reading other peoples post i might just end up training him on my own its gonna be a tought ride but worth the challange , any help would be great thanks, my pup is doing preety good so far , sit , stay, he retrieves preety good , still needs lots of work , he gets easily distracted , also does anyone know of any open fields with no one around i can go to and work on training

Good Luck.
I am having fun with mine.
Maybe look in to a trainer that will work with you on a hourly basis for pointers and problem solver solutions.

Yes to all.
He works on the pup and shows me how to continue the training untill the next session. Then i go home with the home work to work on the pup.

I am using Bryant Meyers.
I can not find his number right now ( it's in the truck). If you want i can get it for you. He is in Eaonville/Grahm area.

That would be arrangements between you and the trainer (who ever you chose).
I would believe most trainers would want to do the training at there place, for they have all the tools need ed at there disposal.

benbo30 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 24, 2009, 03:11:39 PM »

yea i wouldnt have a problem driving there , if you can get me the number i can call and talk to him ... i also email Lee on the sessions deal but i would have to drive to ephrata to meet with her

benbo30 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 24, 2009, 04:44:50 PM »

talked to lee to day about training sessions for half day , 60 for half day on both dogs if i want, and she comes to west side alot so i dont have to go there every 1-2 weeks , i tried to call bryant meyers but he wasnt available , so ill have to call him later an ask him some questions

highclimber · « **Reply #15 on:** February 24, 2009, 07:29:29 PM »

Has anyone used this trainer and can they talk about their experience.

Schmalzfam · « **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2009, 10:12:55 PM »

I know the Meyer's and they are good honest people.
Also, Butch Higgins about 10 mins out of Kelso, is great :-)
PM me any?'s

Lee is good people. The best thing you can do is go meet with the different trainers and make your decision based on who's personality and style best match you and your goals.

Lee Salmon, Butch Goodwin, Bryant Meyers, Katie Quarles, Pat Murphy, Doug Shade, Andy Fontenot are all good trainers. I've seen them all run nice dogs. Within the folks serious about hunt tests, everyone has their favorite person for whatever reason and some folks bounce around from trainer to trainer. (mostly because they think their dog is better than it really is and the trainer it is with at the moment isn't doing something right)

Just spend some time talking with each of them and decide who you like the best. If their personality matches yours, you dog will probably do better with the trainer.

yea im gonna be meeting with lee this weekand hopefully for a half day session and itroduction of my dogs to her , she sounds like a nice person , i like that she travels alot to the west side and we can meet here as well

Happy Gilmore · « **Reply #19 on:** February 25, 2009, 03:13:02 PM »

Good Deal- I like Lee. She's really nice and all her dogs always run well at the hunt tests. Tell her Paul aka"Happy" Gilmore said hi.
