Thanks for the link Paragon, I'll be sure to check him out. Seems like some of the more reputable people in the business that I have come across. I'm sure that there are a bunch of people in the business that employ training "techniques" that I would have a major problem with. I dont want some back yard trainer that just beats the sh*t out of the dogs.
It still blows me away how much these dogs can cost. There is a trainer about an hour away from my house (
www.ultimatek9.com) I was blown away with what his dogs can do, and floored with how close he was to me. But when he finally got around to responding to my email, to tell me his dogs started at 10,500 and went up to 35,500, I almost choked.
Right now the trainer that I am leaning twoards is
http://www.mrazovack9.com/us/. They have a US partner in Arkansas, which is not too terribely far away from me, but I will have to talk to them much more before I would commit to anything.

Randy, the owner, has been on David Letterman with his dogs, has books, videos etc. and trains many of the working dogs around here.
They have various breeds at times and do have GSDs that are trained and above puppy stage. Tell him I sent you and he'll treat you well and charge at least twice as much.  |
