Having searched the discussion board, I was unable to find exactly what I am looking for, so I am posting this question. As I am new to the dog training and protection work, I have been doing a lot of research. One thing I have come to appreciate is the importance of a good Helper in dog training and moreover, that Helper work is not for everyone. I have been doing some OTJ training in Helper work at a local club and own all of Ed's DVDs pertaining to Helper work. That being said, I would like to take a course designed to train/certify me as a Helper. Does anyone know of any such training program? TRS offers training in Helper work, but only as a part of their 16-20 week curriculum. A pointer in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Al,
Where in VA are you? Our Club, Rivanna SchH & Police Club is holding a USA Helper Seminar & Evaluation next weekend Oct 4-5 with two of the best Teaching Helpers in America, Armin Winkler & Doug Wendling. What's really good for you being in VA is that we're not just bringing Armin in for the Seminar, he's the Helper & TD of the club, so he's always there.
The club is located in Palmyra, about 30 minutes east of Charlottesville.
