I just updated my Class Schedule through December 2025 so please check it out.

Also I added a new class Advanced Obedience Training Games!
Prerequisites: My basic obedience class or a CGC or TDI.
Description: This class is designed to introduce a variety of games for obedience training. These games will help with teaching of skills such as fronts, recalls, drops, stands, retrieves, go outs, heeling, stays, sits and maintaining engagement. Games will vary each session based on students enrolled so this class can be retaken for continued learning.

I provide professional dog obedience training services to provide the proper foundation for the success of every pet or sports dog. Classes I teach include puppy, basic obedience, foundation for competition obedience, competition obedience classes, AKC rally obedience, Rally-FrEe, Trick Dog (both AKC and Do More With Your Dog), and Canine Good Citizen (CGC) - all levels.

I have been training and showing dogs for over 10 years. I have experience teaching group classes and teach using positive training methods. My main teaching philosophy is to provide the foundation for every pet or competitive sports dog in order for them to succeed and thrive in their environments for years to come. I love teaching and watching both the handler and dogs grow and become a great working team.

In addition to teaching I am an American Kennel Club (AKC) Evaluator which allows me to test teams for S.T.A.R. Puppy, all levels of Canine Good Citizen (CGC), and the AKC Trick Dog program. I am also a Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI) through the Do More With Your Dog (DMWYD) organization which allows me to test dogs for all levels of Trick Dog titles through this organization.

On my own dogs I have earned AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC, CGCA), Therapy Dog International (TDI), Rally Obedience (RN, RA, RE, RAE), Beginner Novice (BN), Preferred Novice (PCD), Novice (CD), Preferred Open (PCDX) obedience, and Trick Dog (TKN, TKI, TKA) titles from both AKC and Do More With Your Dog (DMWYD) trick dog organizations with my Bichon Frises (Benny, Dino & Clay). In addition I have earned a Championship in Conformation on Dino.
