Dog trainer recommendations
I have a new lab puppy (4 mo old now) and am looking for a trainer.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a trainer in the Minneapolis area?  I do not plan on doing any field trials, just looking to end up with a well behaved gun dog.  I looked at Cannon River Kennels as well as On line Retrievers.  Does anyone have experience with either of these?

Willow Creek Kennels in Little Falls will turn your dog into a hunting machine........

Check out Wings and Whistles Dog Training. They are located just west of the cities in Watertown. Great bunch of folks over there and I was very happy with the training my dog received.

I would also look into West Country Kennels.  Brian will do a great job training your dog.  My brother has had his lab thru there and I also have sent my pup there.  Both have come back and are great dogs.

I know of a few wonderful trainers, but the one that seems to stand out among the rest is David Russell at On-lineretrievers.com.  He takes alot of pride in his job as a trainer and not only trains/teaches your dog but also helps you understand the concepts behind the work.

Tim Landecker @ TKO Kennels. Greg Schriener in Stacy. Sam Daly @ Northfield kennels. Tim Springer.

I would send a dog to any of these guys. Tim and Greg do go south in the winter so a dog can get a lot done in 3- 4 months. All will give a solid OB foundation and FF and CC.

Re: Dog trainer recommendations
Chad Hines is good, Greg Dixon from Backwoods Kennels is good, but as far as a good one and an affordable one I would call Don Erlandson at Captains Kennels in St. Croix Falls WI.  715-488-2217
