A Bit About Me

My family inevitably inherited my Heart Dog, Tucker, when my grandfather passed away. Tucker the male border collie was also known as "Mother Tucker" due to his behavioral issues - if you catch my drift. As a teenager in school with no formal dog training experience, I followed my instincts using play and treats to eventually transforming Tucker into the most well-behaved dog any friends or family had known. After Tucker's passing of old age a few short years later, I eventually moved away from dogs altogether. Going to college for Cosmetology and later Horticulture, I was never truly happily satisfied in either profession. In 2018, when my partner got a mixed-breed puppy, I was adamant I would not take over raising & training - that puppy has grown into my Demo dog, Apex. I am now raising Debut, my sports prospect puppy.

I have been paws-deep in training ever since Apex came home. I have competed in Barnhunt, NASDA (North American Sport Dog Association), NADAC (North American Dog Agility Council) and NADD (North American Diving Dogs). I have trained for Tricks, Disc, Acting for Film/TV, Rally-FrEe (Freestyle Elements), PSA (Protection Sports Association), AKC Scent Work & NACSW (National Association of Canine Scent Work). There are so many different fun sports for all the varieties of breeds and types of dogs to find biological fulfillment.
