I
started teaching classes in 1977 and I am currently the owner of the
I
have trained many different breeds and have been very successful in many ways
with all of them. The breeds
include: English Setter, 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 re-home 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!
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, Obedience Trial Champions and Master Agility Champions!
All
in all, I have put approximately 100+
titles on 20+ dogs of 6 different breeds. I have never kept track of all my
HIT's-but I know they are 50 plus! I
have finished approximately 9 Champions, 3
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 am a Field Instructor for Paws With A Cause
doing the final, in home phase, of training Service dog and Hearing Dog teams.
Every
dog that I trained qualified for the DWDOA and Gaines 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 only correcting when I know the dog knows the exercise and in a manner that is safe and fair to the dog.
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!!
