Jessica
Jessica started her life as an only child on a horse race track. Because she found herself mainly in the company of animals, she understood and communicated with them as playmates and friends. This basic understanding of animal communication has followed her. With a busy horse show career and college, she came late to competitive obedience. Now having shown for seven years and training through the CDX level in AKC, she has found her way to us. Aside from the competitive part of her experience, her talent truly lies with her background in puppies. Having volunteered with Guide Dogs for the Blind and fostering for Suzanne for seven years, she brings extensive understanding of canine behavior. Jessica is ready to share her knowledge and techniques with our young dogs and will start our puppy kindergarten program in June 2010. |

Shade has used many different methods and ways of training dogs, and keeps herself informed of the latest theories; attending seminars, and always adding more to the toolbox of dog training skills.

She believes in discovering the potential in each dog, whether a family pet, or future competition dog, and best of all, the process should be FUN! |
