I’ve been training dogs for over 50 years, with the past 35 dedicated to actively teaching classes in Puppy Kindergarten, Obedience, Rally, Tricks, Canine Conditioning, and Freestyle. My passion for helping dogs and their handlers grow together has shaped my life’s work.

I currently serve as President and CEO of the World Canine Freestyle Organization (WCFO) and am proud to be a certified Freestyle and Proficiency Judge for WCFO. I’m also a Do More With Your Dog Trick and Stunt Dog Evaluator, as well as an AKC STAR Puppy, CGC, and Trick Dog Evaluator.

I’m a former 4-H leader and continue to support and encourage kids in their dog training journeys. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed showing my dogs in Obedience, Rally, Tricks, Agility, and Freestyle—earning each of them their Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Therapy Dog certifications.

For most of my life, I trained and bred Labrador Retrievers, until my Papillon, Jack, came along and taught me the art of training a small dog. Jack was incredibly successful, earning many titles and showing me that great things come in small packages.

These days, I’m working with my Irish Terriers—8-year-old Dublin, who is actively competing and earning titles in multiple sports, and 2-year-old Guinness, who is still in training but well on his way to following in Dublin’s pawprints.

No matter the breed, age, or sport, my goal is always the same: to help every dog and handler team enjoy the process, build a stronger bond, and celebrate their achievements together.
