Congratulations to all the teams that participated in our AKC ACT trial on Saturday. There was so much positive handling and I saw teams improve every run! The trial ran very efficiently due to the efforts of some fantastic volunteers: Jackie Harris built all the courses and supervised the equipment being loaded into the shed for the summer . Her efforts got us out before the heat of the day hit!
Carrie MCCord worked as our trial secretary , awarded ribbons and got all the AKC paperwork ready all while taking care of a 1 month old❤️ baby human. Lisa and Ron Holmes worked any job that was needed , we appreciate them so much!Thank you to all of my students- you are just good people with good dogs and I could not be prouder than watching you " fix" an issue in a positive manner.

Do your due diligence when deciding on a trainer for you and your dog! Overheard a local person tell a "New to the sport" person that exclaimed he bet she had a lot of titles, her reply was that she always shows under someone else's name. Great "con" for an individual with zero titles and has not trialed or shown any dog in any venue in over 20 years and possibly never.
It is always ok to ask questions regarding philosophy of training, Different breeds the trainer has trained to higher levels, do they even know the rules for what they are selling you as their expertise? Beware the Con- this one in particular is VERY good at manipulating . Advocate for yourself and your dog regarding your training choices.

What are some things to look for in a trainer?
Is the person certified or have a degree of some sort that would give them the knowledge to teach a skill? “ I have been doing this for 30 years” with no credentials should raise the alarm.
Are their training methods built on positive reinforcement or shaming,snatching and jerking on collars and leashes?
Do they participate in whatever venue you are training in? Do they have titles earned on their dogs? Can you find proof of that?
Be proactive about your choice of a trainer, check their background. Don’t spend your money and time on someone who is not who they claim to be.
Are they a member of Association of Professional Dog Trainers or other Nationally Recognized training education association.
