Ya'll know that you have to
research your own trainer, right? 'Cause I certainly didn't visit all
these people. I provide this webpage as a free service for those of us
that would like to work our dogs. I hope it helps the stockdog
community.
*Be aware that it may
take me a while to update the page. I'll send you a short note to
let you know that the info has been uploaded.*
To submit your facility to be
included on this page, please provide as much of the following information as
possible.
I want to be able to just CUT AND
PASTE your information and transfer it to the page. Please
cut and paste the following bulleted list. Deleted the stuff I
wrote. Replace it with your information and send it to Lisa Giroux
Please do not write your listing in any other format
as it makes me cranky. Please do not include any fancy
colors or fonts as they will end up plain anyway but I will be cranky
from having to change them.
