How do I find a good dog trainer?

Hi my friend lives in S.E Virginia and is looking for a good dog trainer to come help her with her puppy (teach her to walk on a leash, potty train etc. ) She has some orthopedic issues and thus wanted to work with a trainer. How do you find a reputable trainer. Is there a national association? Do they need some sort of qualification or can anyone say they work with dogs. She wants to use positive methods only – no choke chains or shock collars.
Thanks!
