Default My options seemed soooo dismal until I found this website. What do you think?

After finding out that intermediate classes would not be begining after puppy class finished, I was really dissapointed. I searched the web, came here for advice, made several phone calls to wanna-be trainers with no certification (one even told me she thought I may know more than she does) (and she also disputed what I tried to tell her about having Timber neutered before 6 months old). But anyway....I happend to stumble upon this website and I was impressed. It seemed it was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted ya'll to take a peek at it and see what you think.
First 2 and a half hour class is $125.00 and then $65.00 after that first visit.
Here's the site:

K-9 Kampus

The best part......she's only 20 minutes away. Hoooray!!!!

Glad you found someone! It's more expensive than most of the trainers around here but if it's close and you're happy with them, it's worth every penny

Does it say what methods they use anywhere? All I see on the main page is them saying what they don't use?

Very few of the best trainers have any sort of certification and, personally, wouldn't train with someone that did. The woman that said you might know more than she did was someone you might want to skip though. LOL!

I really question this place as all they talk about is having good communication with your dog is all you need and they don't use pinch collars, slip collars, or e-collars. I'm not a fan of purely positive training. You should go and watch and see what you think first hand.
