We also provide monthly training services. Where we train the dog daily and the owner comes weekly for lessons. This services work great for people that are disabled or out of town frequently. We also start gun dogs the same way. We stress the importance of continuing training when the dog goes home.

Dogs that are in competition are best suited for private or semi -private classes Dogs who go into competition need individual attention. Each dog and each level of training has its own rules and expectations. These classes include:
- proofing exercises
- sequencing
- motivators
- distraction situations
- problem solving
- less is more
|
Some guide lines in dog training:
- All dogs need to be train, know matter
the size.
- Puppies should be started at 12 wks.
- You must have clear rules and
expectations for the dog.
- Never give a command you can't
control
- A dog is only as good as its owner.
- Wrong is wonderful.

My obedience history began as a 4-Her, at the age of 9. Growning up on a horse farm in Wisconsin
dogs were always in my life. The horse business always came first, and dragging me to run-matches
always came second but my parents tolerated my interest. Eventually they found it easier to send me of
with local trainers so I became an assistant and kennel help for local breeders. . This opened the door of
the canine world for me. I started giving classes when I was 15 in my parents horse riding arena. Going
to seminars and taking private classes continued through most of my 20's and 30's.
The breeds of dogs I've owned are many, once the neighborhood knows you have a knack for training
dogs you wouldn't believe what you'll find at your doorstep. Each breed teaching you something new.
And that really is the reward of training dogs, it isn't what I teach them, the reward is what their teaching
me.
But mostly I enjoy teaching people how much you can connect with your pet if show or companion. Dogs
are really willing partners when you have the skills to teach them how to learn. Animals can problem
solve, if its processing a sit stay or hitting an A-frame contact. Once you give them the tools its
unbelievable what can be accomplished. That is my true joy when I see owner and pet working as a team
they've found the respect for each other that goes into training a dog.
I continue to train for the 4-H dog program for more than 20 yrs. I also continue to be a junior fair judge.
I have won numerous titles in obedience, agility, breed, and field. As well as national ranking in
obedience. I won 3 times the German shorthair of Wis. Obedience dog of the year. Also many honorary
awards with the Winnegamie Dog club.
