SUGGESTION: Training section ask the pros.

Can we get a section added to or maybe in lieu of the our current training section? IMO A new dog owner asks questions, and gets a TON of feed back much of which may or may not be from the most credible sources. Seems to clutter up threads pretty quick.
I also think it would encourage some of the not so new members who have training questions to ask on issues that maybe they haven't seen before or an especially tough situation but don't want to wade through all the junk trying to find an answer. Further I would assume the pros would offer up advice more freely if they weren't having to defend a tip or stance on a training technique from people who have little or no experience.
Just like the for sale section, the question would have to be reviewed by the mods, then only the selected pros would have access to freely post.
Just my opinion, we have several resident pros here, and non pros who have been doing it and breaking and testing there own dogs for years. We need to make better use of them!
