A couple of quick notes about this page:
This intended purpose of this page is provided as a service to the people in the state that might be looking for a professional trainer for their dog -- not to provide pros a free place to advertise their services (that is just a nice side effect for them).
While I personally know some (maybe even alot) of pros listed on this page, I don't know them all (assuming this list grows). To the folks who are looking for a pro, that means you still have to do your homework. I make no guarantees as to the quality of their work nor ethics they use in their business. In other words, treat this list as you would a similar page in the "Yellow Pages". A listing here is not an endorsement.
(To the pros) This page is for those professional trainers whose primary emphasis in training is on PERFORMANCE. By that I mean "gundog training" and/or training for field trials or hunt tests should be the main focus. The order of the listing is alphabetically, by last name of the pro within the region.
Lastly, if any of the information on this page is incorrect or missing a pro, please email me the updated information at chris@txbarnes.com
