Trainer locations/recommendations in northern Michigan

Does anyone have a trainer recommendation for northern Michigan? We are located about 40 miles south of Alpena (80 miles north of Bay City/Saginaw) on Lake Huron. I am in need of someone who can help our sweety Jackson learn some manners and how to listen. I know that this is a rather, ah hem, unpopulated area for trainers, so we are willing to travel to a degree. Both hubby and I have full time jobs but may be able to adjust our schedules temporarily if it means getting Jack under control. Any suggestions, please let them fly!

You might try the closest, more populated city to
see if trainers there might know of someone good.
Jaci, looks like that will be my option, thanks for replying
Hello there, Michigander! My family is from Michigan, and up till last June, so was I. I have a sister-in-law that does grooming and she works in Frankenmuth. I believe that she may be aware of trainers, but I don't think they'd be close enough to you.

There is this guy that you may want to look into. I don't recall his name, but he is involved in Pit Bull rescue. He is just amazing too! He is a trainer and I saw him first hand take an unruly dog and have him well mannered in a matter of 10 minutes. Last I recall, now this is about 4 years ago, he offered one on one training and I believe he is in northern Michigan (not the UP, though).

I can email my former vet in Michigan and see if she can get me his contact info.
While you search for a trainer, you might ask the
forum for recommendations on good dog training books.
Erin, that would be great if you can get ahold of your old vet and dig up that information, I would really appreciate it!!

Jaci, good idea, I'll make a new post asking for books. I guess my brain is still too fuzzy to think on it's own right now :lol:
