If you are interested in positive training, or clicker training, and not the traditional obedience training done with leash corrections, you might have a look at these sites:
www.clickerteachers.net
www.peaceablepaws.com (Pat Miller's site, but there is a trainer search)
www.trulydogfriendly.com
All the trainers on these sites have committed to using dog-friendly methods. On APDT, local obedience clubs, and other sites mentioned, you may find positive trainers, but you will also find people who use other methods.

"If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys." - Chief Dan George
"The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift demanding no less binding moral responsibilities than the friendship of a human being. The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth can ever be." ~ Konrad Lorenz
