My Dogs
Each and every one of my dogs have taught me so much over the years. They have helped me grow as a trainer, handler and as a human. Every day, they are still educating me. I am better because of them. I try to live by these words ...

Rising Sun Right as Rayn, 8yr Border Collie
IAC2, IWAC, CSS3
"Rayn" is my soul dog. There is just something about her that is different and OH, SO magnificent! She's an amazing teammate and the best noodle on the planet! We made multiple National Finals in Cynosports and the U.S. Open in 2019. She has had multiple podiums at Regionals, Festivals and Classics. She really enjoys running flat out in Speedstakes!
Shadow of Aire D' Can of Whoop Azz, 2 yr old BC
"Whoopi" is my youngest and she is just now starting to compete. I imported her from Slovenia and I'm so excited for her future. She is extremely powerful, flexible and very balanced. She's a speed demon too!
Rising Sun High Performance Cam, 6yrs BC
IAC2, IWAC, CSS, Canadian Reserve Nat'l Champ
"Cam" is very affectionate, loving and silly! He is my super steady teammate and we can really make the magic happen. He is my big boy who has great zest for the game. He is powerful! Cam competes in the top levels in UKI, USDAA and AKC/ISC. Cam is the 2024 Canadian Reserve National Champion. He's a multi-time Overall winner of many UKI Classics and Cups and USDAA Regionals. We have been trying out for World Teams since 2021.
Maggie 10/1/2005 - 7/8/2021
My first agility dog who taught me so much! Maggie was the most confident dog on the planet and loved to try new things. I'm a bit lost without her, but her spirit visits me regularly and warms my soul.
"Geri" 8/1/2008 - 12/5/2022
Therapy Dog work was her thing, but she has been retired for a few years. Now, she's my full-time therapy dog! Sweet & Loving, she still has her silly moments and likes to play with Cam. Geri loves going for hikes and holding the couch down in our motorhome. She's been a great surrogate dog for all of my client's dogs that needed one thru their journey of behavior modification & training.
