Dog Sports Training Labrador Retrievers

Owner, Handler, Breeder

For nearly 30 years, I have been training and handling multiple dog breeds within different Performance Dog Sports.  From a start in Obedience, I have branched out into Agility, Nosework, and other offered activities.

For the past 20 years, I have been breeding my own line of Labradors Retrievers. I enjoy the fun these dogs have in training and what they can do at trial.

CNWI & Dog Sports Instructor

I am a Certified Nosework Instructor (CNWI) with the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW).  I am currently teaching Nosework classes "On the Road" and at High Octane Agility.  I also hold Nosework Workshops  at various locations around the Philadelphia, PA area.

Positive and Fun

 My philosophy is to keep training positive and fun, no matter where a dog is in its career. People get involved in different dog sports to spend time with their companions and that is the base component to a performance. Class exercises should enhance and challenge each Team while keeping things simple for motivation and drive. 

  To stay current on education, I attend classes with my own dogs, as well as attend seminars and workshops hosted by fellow CNWIs, Tracking & Obedience clubs, Herders, and Breed Handlers.
