On April 29, 2018, my girl, Secret, finished her Obedience Trial Champion title. She is now an Obedience Champion. With such a small percentage of dogs in the United States achieving this title, I feel so blessed to have accomplished this. This is my third Obedience Champion!!

Super Obedience!!!!!!
On October 23, 2015, My Super Special Golden Girl, Seven, obtained the title of Obedience Grand Master. Seven had to complete 2,000 points and score well to obtain the 2,000 points in AKC obedience trials. This special accomplishment is obtained by only a handful of dogs each year. Her obedience training is a testament to my methods of training dogs. She also earned High Combine that day as well as scoring 198 to obtain the title.
Congratulations to My AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Graduates, October , 2018
Congratulations to My Basic Family Dog Class Graduates, October, 2018

On Saturday May 3, 2014, my dream in competition obedience became a reality. Secret, my five-year old golden retriever, earned First Place in Open B with a perfect score of 200 under Richard Strong and also was High In Trial under Wayne Koutsky at the Fort Wayne Obedience Trial. This has been a goal of mine for 36 years with eight different dogs . I have come close so many times to obtaining that perfect score and this special golden girl finally made it a reality!!!!!.

Why should you choose training with me?
I have a wonderful relationship with the Frankfort Square Park District and have created all the dog obedience classes for this program. The facility that I do the training in for the Frankfort Square Park District is always clean, climate controlled, and super spacious.
What makes this dog obedience program stand out from other training class facilities is that I am training dogs myself. I practice all the training skills that I teach with my own dogs. All classes have my own dogs attending and being used as demonstration dogs. Not only will you get personal one-on-one instruction verbally, but you will get to see how it should be done properly with my own dogs. I also do a lot of hands-on instruction with your own dogs if their personality will allow me to. My experience stems from over 39 years of training dogs of various breeds and sizes, mixed and pure. I have personally owned and trained small dogs as well as large dogs. The methods are proven and always use positive reinforcement.

THE GOAL
I make learning fun for the owner and dog. I strive to transform puppies and dogs who exhibit bad manners and behavior to "Super" well-behaved pets that their owners will be proud of, love, and be able to live with for their lifetime in our community.
The classes are organized for the purpose of "Teaching you to Train and Gain Control of your Dog." I want you to experience and enjoy a well-trained dog that can go anywhere in our community and be an outstanding canine citizen and also one in which you can be proud of!
