Title: Dog training recomendations
Post by: gasman on January 23, 2009, 10:06:12 PM: I talked to a few different hunting dog trainers at the "Sportsmens Show" on Wed and was wondering if any one has had any dealins with or any opion of the people i talked with.

Dan Mar, profesional trainer and sale rep for "Natural Ballance".
Kate Johansson, of "Sit Means Sit" (local in the tacoma area).
Bryant Meyer, of "Rocking M Retrievers" in Eatonville.

Yes i did talk the people from "Cook Canyon" and have heard nothing but good things about them, but they raised there prices to $850 this year and thats a little high for my budget. :dunno:

Thanks
Peter

He qualified for the Master National this year. His dogs run hard and happy. I think Kate is more into obediance, I have been to every trial and test in Wa, Or and Idaho last two years and have only seen her a couple of times. Haven't seen her dogs run. Not familiar with Dan Mar....might be a pointer trainer......

Where do you live....I can pass on more names and numbers....Happy
