Training Services »
I have been competing in AKC Agility for the past 10 years and have trained and shown many breeds – everything from Cavaliers to Whippets to Dobermans. My training style is very upbeat with lots of positive reinforcement, making training fun for both you and your dog. My goal is always to get the most out of any dog in terms of enthusiasm and speed.
Lessons
Lessons are offered most evenings, and are private only. I also handle and campaign dogs of all breeds in Agility trials. In addition to competitive Agility lessons, I am available for Behavioral issues and Basic Obedience. Please contact me for available sessions, and I’ll be happy to address exactly what you and your dog need!
Featured Trained Dogs:
“Oscoda”
Desperado's Motley Fool NAJ
Oscoda is a high-energy, high-drive Whippet who exudes enthusiasm. A very bold young dog, Oscoda is a blast to train and is owned by the Fletcher's.
“Heika”
Winterun's Summer Storm AX, OAJ
DOB: May 18th, 1996
Heika, a lovely Weimaraner owned by Nancy Lenker of Grantville, PA is the very first dog I trained and competed with in agility. She was the sweetest dog to work with, thank you Nancy!
“Rudy”
Buddington's Nimble Nureyev AX, OAJ, CGC, TDI
DOB: December 15th, 2003
Rudy, a full sibling to Nania, is one of the only Cavaliers ever produced with both parent's having MACH's. Rudy is a force to be reckoned with on the course, as he slows down for no one! Rudy is trained and shown by Buddington, owned and loved by Betty Winings of Reading, PA. He is not available to be bred.
“Jinks”
GoldGrove High Jinks MX, MXJ, CDX
DOB: January 10th, 2004
Jinks is a beautiful and powerful Doberman Pinscher owned by Marliene Froke of State College, PA. She has extreme drive, focus, and enthusiasm on the course and is a joy to watch. Jinks and I have been working together for about a year - she is also trained and handled by Elaine Swancer.
