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.

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.

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.

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.
