Well you could always look in the yellow pages for schools, phone around and ask questions or better yet ask if the various trainers would mind if you went and watched a class that they were teaching. That way you could see how the trainers interact with the dogs and owners and have a chance to talk to them face to face. It also gives you a chance to find out just what type of facilities they have.

I have to say I was fairly lucky when I first started looking for a trainer. I phoned almost all the schools in the book and asked various questions but only one or two of the trainers took time to ask questions about Smudge and his personality. I believe I choose the right school, after all I know go there every week to help out, and the trainer that taught our first class is now one of my best friends and she helped get me Winter and into Agility.
