I've been looking around on the net and came upon Gottfried Dildei. I liked some of his methods but dislike that he wants to train the dog to anticipate the turns in the schH. Field.
Then I came upon Bart Bellon, who seems to train with an iron fist. I'm watching one of his seminars, and he walks along the field like military personnal. I can't say I dislike that, because after watching him I notice I do much the same thing when I want Shenzi to pay attention to me and nothing else.
Who do you like watching train?

I love watching Bart Bellon video I am obsessed I think lol I have enjoyed watching Ivan over the last few years as well. He is really fluid and concise in his movements.
Michael Ellis is another of my fave trainers to watch. He is amazingly clear in communicating with his dogs. When I was in San Francisco this fall I spent my lunch breaks at the seminar watching Michael train. It was a really good experience.
Another up and coming trainer to watch is Lindsey Sommer. She has been working for Michael at his school. I stayed with her for 5 days and had the opportunity to train with her every night after school. She has amazing timing and is incredibly good at reading her dogs. Also her puppy foundation work is very inspiring.
I don't think it's a coincidence that these are some of my favorite trainers. Their methods are all similar in some way, and it is easy to pick and choose different ideas from each trainer.

What's nice about the Ellis DVD's is there are tons of free streaming videos of Michael on the Leerburg website where you can get a feel for his style of training before you spend a lot of money
