training programs. Ann has also studied under the well known dog
trainer Terri Arnold since 1997 for obedience. Ann has trained
with Elicia Calhoun, Karin Shapiro, Terri Arnold and Cherie
Fischer in agility.
Ann’s dog training classes combine positive reinforcement,
compulsion, attention games, and relationship building to train
both dog and handler. Ann enjoys working with students and
dogs to develop common understanding and goal orientation. Ann
believes that patience builds stronger relationships between dog
and handler. With this better relationship both become better
competitors and dogs become more thoughtful pets. Ann Believes
you should be the pack leader in your relationship with your dog
