I also work with a group of independant schH guys who liked my dog enough to allow me to train with them as green as I am. They can't stand Rotties but like my dog. One of them lived with Balabanov and studied with him for weeks. His ot vitosha female won the trial that our original club put on. We train at various field that is dictated by availability. There are three helpers in this group.

We've also visited other places with different helpers and have had other helpers work with our club. The main helper in our group in a national level helper and a rottie person. He's well connected and often invites his schH helper buddies to train with us.

I don't know how ideal this situation is but it is what it is and my dog is not appearing to be helper dependant.
