I traveled across the country in June 2006 to attend the CPE Nationals in Sacramento CA with Sandy and Buddy.  I have posted a page that's basically a "blog" of my trip.  I will keep it on this site for awhile in case anyone else wants to read about my adventures!

What is Dog Agility, you might ask?

Click on the dog in the tunnel to read all about it!

I believe in positive, no-force methods, and incorporating the use of clicker/operant conditioning training, targeting, and backchaining into everything I do with dogs.  I have attended countless seminars and workshops myself, learning from top trainers from the USA and beyond, and have incorporated "the best of the best" into my own training philosophies.

My dogs (also see my photo gallery):

Sandy (AA, at the rainbow bridge): USDAA ADCh; NADAC S-NATCH; USDAA LAA Platinum*; 1999 and 2000 Top 10 USDAA jumpers; USDAA Top 10 in every performance category in 2004; CPE C-ATE; CPE Top Ten for 2005, 2006, 2007,and Lifetime Top Ten; Winner of 2003 CPE Nationals; TDAA (Teacup Agility Dog Association) TACH; UKC AG-I; Purina IDC Finalist 2000, and regional competitor in 1999 and 2001;  NADAC Nationals winner in 2002, as well as previous finishes of 2nd place in 2000 and 5th place in 1999; USDAA Nationals Semi-Finalist 1998, 1999, and 2000; 2nd place in AMBOR Agility Nationals 2002; 5th place finisher in 16" division at 2002 All Star Agility National event; CGC

Buddy (9 year old BC): CPE C-ATE; USDAA MAD and MJ; NADAC Elite Standard, Jumpers and Gamblers titles; AKC OA and OAJ titles; High Scoring Border Collie at 2002 CPE Nationals; CGC

Jart (6 year old AA, probably Aussie and Papillon): USDAA Starters Jumpers, Snooker, Gamblers and Pairs titles; CPE Level 4 Fun, Strategy and Handler titles; ASCA Novice Regular, Novice Gamblers and Open Jumpers titles

* Sandy earned all (in fact, 10 extra Q's were earned, a total of 160) of the qualifiers necessary for a LAA Platinum except for 15 pairs Q's; she switched to the performance program long before this title existed, and retired from USDAA in 2007; USDAA didn't offer Performance Pairs as qualifying until 2008.  If she had gotten all of her Q's in the Performance program, she would've rightfully earned the title in USDAA's eyes.  However, USDAA does not currently recognize dogs with a mixture of legs in each program as getting the LAA Platinum unless they also have the 15 required pairs Q's in the masters class; if dogs earn Q's in only the performance program and before January 1, 2009, they don't need any pairs Q's at all.  So, because of a USDAA accounting/recording decision, Sandy does not technically have this title.  However, as I think most people would agree, she met all the requirements, and then some, to be awarded this title with her mix of Q's in both the Masters and Performance Program.  Click here (scroll down to near the end) to see the list of her Q's that counted towards this title in USDAA.

I'm also a USDAA, CPE, TDAA, and ASCA Agility Judge
