• I served as the rally judge for an AKC sanctioned A match in December 2013. This match was held so that the club could get AKC approval to run obedience and rally trials in addition to the agility trials it had been initially approved to offer. The AKC approved the club's application to do so in January 2014. I have recently been approved as a member of this club and have volunteered at its agility trials on an ongoing basis.

  Paws Up Dog Training

  Long Island

  New York

  I have launched a private dog training service business under the name Paws Up. I have trained my own two current dogs to over fifteen titles in obedience

  rally and agility. I have attended numerous training seminars including presentations by well known speakers Ian Dunbar and Leslie McDevitt. My primary interests are puppy training

  adult dog manners and working with people before they get their puppies to help them to be prepared for integrating their puppy into their family successfully. I believe that if people are prepared in advance and have tools to help them make good choices in the breed that is most likely to meet their expectations and lifestyle they will be much more likely to succeed in getting their new family member through puppy and adolescent development. This would go a long way to reducing the tragedy of the huge shelter dog population.
