Professional Trainers Can I Help?

[3637]

Hello I am new to this site. I have been training my own dogs for 15yrs for hunting just the basics). Now I would like to learn how to train a Hunt test dog. I was told to come to this site and ask for help in trade for working for the trainer.

So would any of you trainers be willing to work out a deal for a week. I help you (tossing birds or whatever needs to be done) in trade for working with me and 1-2 of my dogs. I am from MN and would travel to your kennel.

Or shoot me an offer!!!!!!

Shoot you an offer??? Who are you? What do you really know? And who can vouch for you??? We need to know those things. Geeze.....

What do you need to know to throw birds? His offer seems to be of non-technical type help, he does not seem to boast to able to do more. Seems like he just wants to learn. I know of some pros who do just what he is offering. Granted they are do primarily hunt tests, and may not be known in the FT realm.
I think he needs to know what else may be expected of him, and if he feels competent to do so, then offer proof via references etc. or whatever.

Back up a little Angie. They are willing to throw birds or do what ever, which I would guess could mean cleaning kennels, airing dogs, they are willing to travel to the pro. There not asking for money only a small bit of time. Going on we don't know them we would have to guess they have little or no experience. Yes it would be nice to know a little more.

Not to Highjack the thread.

But No real name = no real creditability.

It's the guy's (that's a guess) first post - Give him some slack. We all started somewhere and there is more than one person who's afraid of giving out to much personal info on the web. He knows none of us or what we are about. Also, with the way this has started he's looking preaty smart for not using his name.

Let’s ask some questions- If he's not for real or trying to scam someone it will be obvious soon enough.

I'm sure there are trainers in Pa, Angie probably knows half of them. Why wouldn't you just call someone in your area make an appointment and show up in person and make your case? You might have better luck that way.
