There are a few over your way that would love to take your money and train the dog. My best advice is to read all you can and watch DVD's and train the dog yourself to the best of your abilities. You and the dog will bond and you will be forever grateful for the time spent training. Don't tell me you don't have time either. You make time, you get your kids/family involved. Take 15 minutes a day and dedicate it to your dog and he will become something you thought you could never have.

You'd honestly do better if you train him yourself. My nephew paid a like $80-$120 (forgot how much)to get his trained at petsmart. All the dog got from those classes, was the treats they give you for attending. He just didn't catch on. So my nephew bought him to the house and we worked with him ourselves. He caught on so fast. All you need is about 20-40 minutes a day and keep your money. Like the guy above said, get your kids involved too. Make it a learning experience for the entire family. I guarantee better results than most trainers out there.

Also, the younger you teach them the better. Show some patience at the beginning. He'll catch on and you'll love it.
