I've loved dogs all my life.  I've had many different breeds over the years but my current dogs, Shelties, have been the most fun!  I took up Agility, for fun at first, then went into competitions and just loved it.  I've now been doing agility with both my Shelties for over 5 years competing in AAC, CKC and CPE trials. We enjoy training, playing and just being together all the time.  We've made many dogs friends over the years.  My dog Wyatt was recently in a car commercial and we loved the experience so much, I decided to become background talent! We've done some trick training, the dogs are very smart, well behaved and lots of fun!  Wyatt is more outgoing than Colleen having a fun loving attitude, sensitive but always willing to learn and always ready to play.  Colleen is more reserved, very smart but shy and prefers to be handled by me.  I've had to learn how to adjust my training style based on my dogs, they each have very different learning methods.  When we're on the agility field, both dogs again are very different and I've had to be patient in learning how to best work with them.   I am an "auntie" to many of our Sheltie friends.  A bit of pushover, as the dogs rule in our house!  I have babysat dogs and helped neighbors with training their dogs based on things I have learned over the years. Dogs aren't just pets, they're family!
