Another vote for Mike & Tiffany Taylor with SkyHigh Retrievers. Very professional. I have a Shaq pup in training with them and couldn't be happier. Lorraine

I'm in Kennewick and have a dog with Jerry Patopea of Utopia Retriever Kennels. It's a 5 hour drive but worth it. Jerry is an excellent trainer and a great guy.
If its dog events you want, there are a ton of them.

Maybe someone who doesn't have a scary avatar should ask that question.![]()
But I agree, where in C.WA? OP mentioned "good citizen" and that to me would indicate that he/she is possibly interested in obedience classes as well. Wenatchee and Tri Cities both have active dog training clubs, w/ Yakima Valley KC holding classes only in the winter lately. I'm in Yakima and will also be doing JH / SH training w/ my own this fall/winter in addition to more obed.
Lots of great information here, everyone. Thanks so much. We are happy to hear also that the hunt-test circuit is so active in the Northwest.
Is there a calendar of those events posted other than we they are up on the AKC site?
