ISO: A good dog trainer that isn't going to cost us an arm and a leg. We have a lab puppy that needs some training and we are looking for recommendations of who to go...

Andy's number is (360) 520-5534. If that number doesn't work for some reason, I have a couple other contact #'s for him. He trains down in the Chehalis area. The other thing I wanted to tell you is that I was VERY picky about where my dogs went for training. I'm sure you get it, they're not just your pets...they're your babies too. He runs a very clean and organized, professional operation. Anyway, good luck!

I have heard great things about Andy Fontanot out of Winlock.
Rhonda F. replied:
We had out labs trained by a guy in Winlock named Andy Fontenot. (Not sure if I spelled it correctly). This is his full-time occupation, and we have the most obedient labs ever. I am not sure what you consider an arm and a leg. Andy was a little pricy, but, it was an investment in out dogs. They are not obnoxious out of control dogs. They don't beg, if we say sit, they sit...they are just great dogs. Are you wanting to train them for retrieving? One of our dogs was trained for that and he is now a master hunter retriever (titled)... It all started with this guy.
At some point I thought I saw someone post about a dog trainer for German Shepherds in the Centralia/Chehalis/Tenino area? If anyone knows of this trainer could you...

Sara Gingrich has posted she is a trainer on the Thurston page. I believe she is in Olympia or Lacey.
https://www.facebook.com/BestPawDogTraining I would highly recommend Lisa Tyson. She has several service dog certification classes. She has been working for Best Paw Forward for 5 years and has been training dogs 20 years.
