 Kathy has lived with and loved dogs her entire life but never
attended a formal training class until 1993 when she adopted a 1 yr old
Border Collie X that had many behavior issues. Kathy attended her first
class at Tails U Win and quickly became hooked in positive reinforcement
training when she saw how well her new dog responded to this form of
training. She currently lives with four rescue terriers that have all
been trained using positive reinforcement methods. Kathy actively
competes in agility and qualified for CPE (Canine Performance Events)
agility Nationals two years in a row with her Jack Russell Terrier
Jamie. Two of her dogs have earned several C-ATCH (Canine Agility Team
Championship) awards. Her proudest moment was receiving her first C-ATCH
award with her Hurricane Katrina feral stray Toby who was considered
unadoptable due to extreme fear issues before he entered her life. Her
belief that training should be fun and enjoyable to both the dog and
handler is something she tries to convey in class.
Kathy
and her canine companions also enjoy scentwork, barn hunt, competition
obedience, go to ground terrier trials and lots of hiking.
