I became involved in dog training in 1975 when I went to my first class with a mixed breed with behavioral problems and at that time everyone wanted to take my dog and train it and give it back. I ddn't think it would work and wanted to do it myself. I FINALLY found a class, started training and got hooked and since then....

A sample of just some of the titles my dogs have achieved are the following. All these dogs were trained and shown by me to all of their titles

I started teaching classes in 1977 and I am currently the owner of the Canine Community Center . The CCC is a very active and opened a very competitive obedience school in 1992 and can boast of having many top winning students including many who have gone from Novice A to OTCH, Novice A to MACH, High in Trials and achieving many wins and tournament placements along the way. Not all Goldens and Border Collies!, these dogs are breeds which include German Wirehair Pointers, Springer Spaniel, Lhasa Apso, Shih Tzu, Border Collie, Golden Retrievers, Belgian Sheepdogs, Gordon Setter, Bichon, Flat Coated Rtrs, AMBOR, Poodle, English Setter and Schnauzer's to name a few!

I have trained many different breeds and have been very successful in many ways with all of them. The breeds include: English Setter, Samoyed, Siberian Husky, All American, Irish Setter, Border Collie, Great Dane, Sheltie, Belgian Sheepdogs and Golden Retrievers. Many of these dogs were not living with me at the time and could only be trained once a week and still, were very competitive obedience dogs with HITS in AKC, CKC, UKC, SKC and DWDOA and Gaines placements. Most of the dogs that came to live in my house were dogs that were given away because they were rehome dogs that were "not competitive enough" and "dumb" and/or lived in a kennel. They came to live with me where they are house dogs and my companions first, and then competition dogs, and went on to be amazing dogs!

From the years of 1984 to 2010, all dogs living in my home were (BSD and GR) were Multi HIT dog's. (and Michigan is known as being a "hotbed" of obedience competition) I also breed Golden Retrievers under the kennel name of Starburst and the pedigree on most of the Starburst litters I bred contain 5 generations of Multi High in Trial dogs. The litter that I am planning for 2010 will be 3 generations of MACH dogs as well as Obedience dog. I am not only the breeder, but also the co-owner and instructor for many of the puppies I bred and they include:

I feel a good trainer not only does well on their own, but it shows in their students….In the past years, my students did quite well in the ring going for their titles and they proudly brought home trophies from the Gaines Regional Competitions and DWDOA World Series and National Specialties!

All in all, I have put approximately 100+ titles on 20+ dogs of 6 different breeds. I have two 200 scores on 2 different Belgian Sheepdogs. I have never kept track of all my HIT's-but I know they are 50 plus! I have finished approximately 9 Champions, 4 Master Agility Trial Champions and I do not have a count on the number of UD’s, CDX’s, CD’s, MX’s, MXJs, along with a multitude of others, through other kennel clubs

While working on these titles I have also managed a tour to Calgary & Edmunton with the "Superdog" show and still found time to work, travel and manage my business, run classes four nights a week (obedience & agility) and do approximately 10-15 private lessons a week. So as you can see--I train when I can, the way most people train! I do not have time to spend 3 hours practicing finishes!!

In addition to the obedience work I was a Field Instructor for Paws With A Cause doing the final, in home phase, of training Service dog and Hearing Dog teams from 1986 to 2010.

Every dog that I trained qualified for the DWDOA and Gaines Tournaments every year since 1982, which was my goal with every dog I trained.

I have done several, very successful and profitable Foundation seminars in Obedience and Agility. The are informative, fun and include pages and pages of handouts!

My training philosophy is:

Break it down to the smallest parts, train the parts and put it all together.

Go slow and easy-motivate and have fun. If your not having fun - the dog isn't having fun.

I train using food along with correction but I try to correct when I know the dog knows the exercise.

My goals for myself and my students are:

Have fun and do the best you can with what you have to work with.

Work your dog to the best of your ability and your dogs potential !

Reach for the moon - -

you may miss, but the worst that will happen is you will reach a star!!
