How it all started.........

I have always loved dogs, so when I moved to Livingston County Michigan in 1985, I started rescuing and training dogs. I joined the Humane Society of Livingston County (HSLC) and became a foster home for dogs; I served on the Board of Directors and as treasurer however  my real love was still fostering/rehabilitating the dogs and I soon became known as the home that could handle the tough cases.

I didn't know my real challenge would come as an Australian Shepherd named "Rosie". She is a dog that we decided to adopt and was probably the worst behaved and wildest dog that I had EVER seen. I started reading all of the dog psychology books, training books and books on how dogs communicate because of Rosie. I attended many classes and training seminars by nationally known trainers (And continue to do so). My daughter currently shows Rosie in 4H and has a Reserve Grand Champion(2006) and Grand Champion(2005) in obedience.

Training Philosophy

My philosophy is start with one behavior at a time and control and direct the dog to good behavior, then reward the good, and correct the naughty behavior. Remember though your dog may be acting out due to  things in the home that you do not notice.. That’s where I come in ……...

Who me, a trouble maker….
