You will have noticed I included Spokane and Pullman area trainers too. Finding a good dog trainer is extremely important! I hope that you will be able to find a dog trainer that you respect and connect with; remember that you never have to do anything a trainer tells you too if your gut is telling you not too – they should understand and give you alternatives.
Please feel free to share about your experiences with these or any other dog trainer in the area.

Who is your favorite companion dog trainer?

  1. This comment was made on this page: http://northidahodogfun.com/2009/11/a-family-dog-not-to-be-confused-with-the-family-dog/ and I thought it should also be posted here.

    Miracle’s MomMarch 23, 2010 at 10:49 am (Edit)

    As Idaho is the Gem State, Karen is a true GEM of Idaho!
    Her caring, compassion and skill with dogs & with their owners is exceptional. We have been so blessed with her work with Miracle, our miracle dog…and us! I most highly recommend Karen for anyone looking for someone to help with their family dog. We travel an hour each way to get to A Family Dog, because we know the love and care and talented training we all receive from Karen at A Family Dog.

  2. Could you add my kennel name, Kalea Shelties, Sagle, Idaho, 208-265-4541, to your list of breeders for Shetland Sheepdogs? I have contacts with other Sheltie breeders and rescue groups. Thank you!

  3. Thank you for the information – I would love to know more about the rescue groups so that I can post them up on the Rescues page!

  4. Thanks, Molly. I am in contact with a rescue organization for shelties, if anyone wants to contact me looking for a nice sheltie that might need a forever home. I’m not sure about any of the other breeds at this moment, but I will certainly keep my ears open so that we can find homes for as many as we can.

    Sandy is a wonderful instructor that is very knowledgeable and shares techniques, tidbits, and tips to help her students and their dogs perform better. I have a German shepherd with a type A personality and Sandy has helped me understand how to get the most from Jay and at the same time Jay loving what she is doing.
