I will take Jasper to her for each lesson. She's listed on the AKC trainers page...I'll find out before I enroll to see what her certifications are.  My friend took her English Sheep dog to group lessons with her (for quite a bit less) and they were successful with the training.  Group lessons are not an option at this time and she suggests we start as soon as I get my baby...when he is 12 weeks old.
 Would love your opinion...

  That sounds like a deal to me! But I would give you the same warnings.  Be careful, ask for references, don't be afraid to walk out (or show her the door) if you don't like what she says.
