So you'll be a Washingtonian too eh?? Awesome! Of course Olympia is like 4 hours from me but still it's all good. You should join the WA/OR meet up I created! So far we have about 9 members with multiple GSDs.

I don't know of any training places up there, sorry.

But good luck on finding one!

Check this one out. I know Kathy Lang and can endorse her. She attended a weekend long tracking seminar that the training club in the Tri-Cities hosted and I organized. She is very positive and does compete in AKC obedience, agility and tracking with her Belgian Sheepdogs. She has very nice dogs too. And she likes German Shepherds.

Missy,
Yes, we are moving up there and I am so excited. I will definately join the meet up. That sounds great!

Kathy,
Thanks for the link. I will definately look into it. I just don't know what would be better, a trainer who does more AKC or a trainer in to Schutzhund. I am really interested in the Schutzhund.

Where in WA will you be moving?

If you'll be west of the Cascades, definitely check these guys out:

We will be at Ft Lewis. I am looking at houses in DuPont, Spanaway, and Roy.

Ah... then I would probably go with the SchH group. You might consider the guys I posted for a puppy socialization class.

Another thing I would like to do though is take my 8 y/o with me and get him into obedience. He is really excited about it. I can do the Schutzhund and he can do some Jr handler groups. Well, that's what I would LIKE to do at least. 8 y/o's change their mind alot.

jaggirl47, I live in that area. I also train in Schutzhund. One of the absolute best trainer(teacher's) out here is Shade Whitesel, of http://www.shadesdogtraining.net

Her training is totally positive/motivational, and she trains schutzhund too. Her male Reiki has already one two national competitions without any correctional training. You can see her doing the obedience portion of her sch 1 routine here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNGJQssHQAM

Reiki already has his 2(the vid isnt online), and will be going for his 3 next summer.

She is a wonderful people teacher too.
