| Hello and welcome!!! I am new here as well, but have been posting like a madwoman!!
I totally agree with Vivianne. I am a dog trainer myself. What I look for in a trainer, is someone who is compassionate, able to answer my questions, someone who does not use harsh or punitative methods.
Make sure that you are comfortable with the trainer and that you are comfortable with the training school. Most places are not inpendant trainers, must are schools that hire trainers. Make sure that the school in a whole has a good reputation.
Good luck!
