Over the past 30 years I have had the pleasure to work with many wonderful pet owners, rescue groups, breeders and breed clubs. This has given me the opportunity to train with and learn from an abundance of different and diverse dog breeds. I have and will continue to value the experience and education gained from working with such a diverse range of breeds.

I have also worked with many wonderful mixed-breed dogs of known and unknown lineage. These dogs have added much to my pleasure in teaching and my personal education through obedience training and behavior modification.
