She has achieved 3 High In Trials and has gone to All Stars twice.   She qualified and competed in IPO Regionals and Nationals with her dog Quen.  She has been invited to Dock Diving Nationals Twice.

 

She believes it’s important to title your dogs as it shows the training that you are able to accomplish as a trainer by an independent party judging your methods.

​

With over 28years of experience, we train all levels of dog obedience, from puppy manners, basic obedience, advanced off leash obedience, competition, agility, sport dog training, trick training, and problem solving.

She feels relationship with your canine is important and once you understand how they think, you can understand dog behavior.
