I currently have 2 Sheltie partners and best friends that I train
and show in herding, obedience, rally, K9 Nose Work, and therapy
work. I have been showing in obedience for 21 years. I have been
very blessed with sharing my life with many incredible dog buddies,
and training mentors.
I am certified in Animal-Assisted Therapy, am a certified evaluator
for Therapy Dogs International, and I am now an Associate Nose Work
Instructor. I received 5 years of wonderful training from being
an area coordinator for the Guiding Eyes for the Blind Puppy Raising
Program. I also attended Camp Gone to the Dogs for 10 years and
learned from top trainers such as Patti Ruzzo, Leslie Nelson, Sue
Sternberg, and others.
I am a positive trainer, and base much of my philosophy on the
above trainers, and Ted Turner of Sea World who was giving exciting
seminars to dog trainers when I was just starting out.
When I am not teaching at DTCCC I give in-home pet, and therapy
dog training lessons for dogs and puppies in Wilmington, Delaware.
