Can anyone recommend a good dog trainer pls., close to Jackson  preferably. One that doesn’t charge an arm & leg. Thank you. 

What kind of traing are you looking to do.  Basics like sit stay come or hunting training.

Basic/obedience for now.

If you're near a Petsmart, they have a good basic obedience program they do in the store, and it's cost effective.

I called Petsmart but your dog has to be fixed & I’m not fixing my puppy. You stunt their growth if you do it before they’re a year & a half old-2yrs. This was puppy kindergarten or something.

That must be new. I did the first three classes and my dog wasn't neutered. I don't remember them even asking.

I use Confident K9's. Don't know if Bobby goes that far. He's mainly Monmouth Co. $150 a session.

My last Lab was a piece of cake to train.Didn't need any help.  My new guy, 7 month old 75Lb black lab, is a handful. I did fine with sit and lay down, but needed help with his counter surfing and barking while we eat. He's also not getting his balls removed for at least 2 years.
