If you are all close enough, might be nice to set up as a training group. Wouldn't have to necessarily start a club...

Get in touch with Bob Mcown he is on this board..

Clark Niemitalo

I've talked to Bob and their club is still about 3 hours from me although it sounds like a great club.  I'll be going to a private trainer in Grand Rapids but I'm up for starting a training group if anyone is interested.  It doesn't have to be USA or WDA affliated...just a group of people helping each other out.  The biggest challenge is a helper that knows what he/she is doing.

Bob is no longer with a club we have a private training group in Edwardsburg Mi..There is a helper there..

Clark Niemitalo

Edwardsburg is the one that is so far from me Clark.  I'm up in Big Rapids...about an hour north of G.R.

PM to ya

 Were a training group that found one another by need and it has worked out very well, I and several of my friends were training at a club that had fallen into a rutt no advancment or real set goals a good group of folks but the training had become to a nonadvancing state of being.

Clark Niemitalo Who I had meet several times and he had worked my Axel very well In Indianapolis was doing private training in Edwrdaburg at Tri Star K9 on Highway 12 with Roni Hoff who owns that facility, and he invited me up to train with them and it has worked very well since good training and good people to work with low key not all the ego and attitudes that you can find  at some clubs  all breeds of dogs get worked. 

Roni brings Excellent skills and directionand Clark has Experience in multiple breeds of dog and working venues as well as being a Nationally certified helper for USA. Clark is also a amazing trainner that not many people know of him.

Were planning several seminars and special training events for the coming year and I would imagine possible forming a USA club in the near future.    

You can see some of our members at my web site  vomdrachenhaus.com

Ohhhhh, I have met you!  I turned my friend Beth onto Roni for training.  We came over there a few months ago.  Thing is though, I can't afford those prices right now.  From what I hear, Beth gets maybe 5 minutes of training at the end when everyone else is done!  I'm not sure I'd like that fact that I paid the money and didn't get time in.  Is it always like this?
