    WHERE IT ALL STARTED

    Behind every good trainer, there is a dog who changed their life. That would be my Shepie. Shepie has taught me far more than I can ever teach him. Shepie is a sensitive soul who I would best classify as misunderstood. When he came into my life, I wanted nothing more than to show him the world! But, he was terrified of it. This inspired my desire to learn more, to do better, and to be better for him, eventually leading me to where I am today.

    Favourite Activities: trick training, scent detection, canicross, hiking, swimming, and long walks in the woods

    Accomplishments:
    Trick Dog Grand Champion
    Expert Trick Dog Masters
    Competing in two Canicross races

    THE JOY AND THE LAUGHTER

    Rogue is the best friend who always makes you laugh. He is an absolute dork, my wild child, and has a phenomenal work ethic. Rogue believes he is the coolest dog on the planet, and I don’t think he is wrong. If you attend any of my workshops, seminars, or group classes, you may meet him as he loves to demo and help teach others! Rogue shines on the agility field and I am so blessed to be his teammate for all our crazy adventures.

    Favourite Activities: agility, trick training, running wild and free, playdates and training dates with his friends
