Re: [pyrnet] not sure about trainer's methods

Katie, 
The trainer doesn't seem to be up-to-date on newer techniques for 
teaching.  These are all older techniques but still in use.  

It's your choice.  Try again and in the meantime look around for 
someone else.  Some places to get names of trainers are:  

Association of Pet Dog Trainers 
http://www.apdt.com/

National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors 
http://www.nadoi.org/

Listing of Clicker Trainers 
http://www.wazoo.com/~marge/Clicker_Trainers/Clicker_Trainers.ht
ml

As with anything buyer beware.  It's always better before signing up 
for a class and paying the money to go observe the class and see 
how the trainer works with people and their dogs.  Hints for trainer
