For different reasons I could not seem to find the right club from those given on certain Internet Sites.  However, I eventually discovered one after meeting and chatting with a dog walker!  This Club is not on the Web Site, but I am thrilled to have discovered it.

It made me think that there must be others too, who do not advertise on the Internet, but would come highly recommended by their clients. 

Would ADMIN consider a separate section, where people could give a name and contact and area of their particular Club, and a brief reason for recommending it?  This could prove to be a valued link for people like me to investigate a RECOMMENDED Club by REAL people! 

My one happens to be an Obedience Club, but a section like this could cover all types of Clubs. 

Did champdog members who belong to any clubs, find them through the Internet, or by 'accident' like me, or any other source?

Does anyone else think that this would be helpful.

My KC accredited club had some in-arguments between the trainers and it fell apart.  They really didn't have a clue about my breed anyway.  In desperation I went on the net and found a club quite a long way from me but emailed for some advice and he told me about the club I belong to now.  This club doesn't advertise, or at least I haven't seen any ads although it does have a website it wasn't listed in the usual training club lists.  They do pet training, agility, obedience, professional training and one to one training.  You can have one to one at the club or they will visit your home etc.  If I had found this club when my dog was a young puppy I think the training progress would have been much much better.

I may be wrong but their is club sections in the search under each breed.  not sure if you can list it there.
