Can anyone recomend...or know of any good dog trainer's around the Spokane area..??

Hey, This is Doc Erickson (your friendly Colville Chiropractor)-- What kind of dog do you need trained? Lab, Pointer, Setter, Versatile? You can check out the "Message Board" on the Spokane Bird Dog Association website, which is at http://www.sbda.itgo.com for a couple names too.

Doc E... Casey the Pointing Lab is at http://www.pointinglabcasey.itgo.com

I might suggest that you contact the local retriever field trial club. These members would be very aware of good professional trainers in your area.
