You would have to look the numbers for them up in the phone book or the web. Petsmart or petco trainers might also have an idea were you could go. You might also ask the trainers as well.

I don't know if the trainers are voluteer or paid positions though. I know that our local SPCA uses dog trainers and provides classes at their location.

Sorry if I'm insulting any of you, but the depth of training and experience you need won't be given to an employee they are training. It is possible for someone trained outside of these companies to be teaching, but not likely. There are a number of expensive locations that you can take classes from throughout the U.S. at private schools. Did I say expensive? Since the first things a dog needs to do is learn basic obedience, I'd recommend contacting clubs in your area. There are clubs that are strictly interested in competing in obedience. They would be a good source of information for training in your area. People that have trained their dogs to earn championships in obedience are more likely to be great sources of information. You'll have little information about the quality of an instructor in a school you attend. These people in clubs can also suggest other people you can speak with, and/or schools you might attend if you really believe you must attend a school. For example, I train for hunt tests. Two of the best professional trainers in my region never went to school. They had the opportunity to train under knowledgable people. I don’t recommend training for work at petco or petsmart.

I have been dropping off my letter, with my business cards at the vets and groomers in the area. I am trying to get a place to do group classes. The parks will be way too hot to do them. It's after 11p now and still 90 out. I went to the animal shelter and its a city thing, so I didn't have any luck there. I know people from the rescue groups, so that will bring me in business too. I have two vets who recommend clients to me. It's going to be basically word of mouth. I don't want to get myself into a situation of going to someone's house that I don't know. Too many weird people out there. :) I worked for PetSmart as a trainer, and then when I left I did open up my own training business.
