Where do I start? Our 1st Golden was smuggled in and out of our apartment in Edmonton when our house was not ready – that was way back in 1976.
We had to have a “duck dog” as per my Dad, but I thought we were looking for a Lab – none to be found so a Golden it was. Not only did we bring home 1 but 4 weeks later and in our new house – we brought home a 2nd. And there have been 11 in total since then …. And 15 puppies.
Our dogs have had a variety of talents and we even managed to throw a title on a few – CKC and AKC. Pet Therapy is my biggest joy – working on my 3rd certification
It has only been 7 years since I started teaching Level 1 Basic Obedience and I enjoy every student and their dogs and I learn so much from my students.
My whole focus is to have people have fun and enjoy training their dog. Too many classes are geared toward performance and competing, and I always felt left behind as it was not my focus – I just wanted a well behave dog that I could take anywhere. So, expect to have a laugh, learn a trick or two and Obedience for a well-behaved dog and form a bond with your best friend!
