More of us, professional dog trainers, should be trying to connect with our local breeders. I've sent out emails, brochures, business cards and coupons to a few and have gotten amazing referrals for puppy class that way! I know it's a challenge-some breeders think they know it all and are great at doling out BAD advice to owners. The few that are responsive to my offer to help guide folks into a healthy, happy relationship are the breeders that I recommend and so it becomes a win-win =) I refer them, they refer me!
